A thirty-eight-year-old white soldier, while stationed in the jungle, became restless, tense, and greatly perturbed over his future and his separation from his wife. The following morning his hair, previously dark brown, had turned white. Within the next few days there occurred a considerable loss of frontal, marginal, and facial hair. Within a few more days the symptoms of diabetes mellitus appeared followed by a thirty pound loss of weight over a period of one month. A report from the patient three months after his discharge from the army showed little improvement. The symptoms may be understood as concomitants of the anxiety state.
