Bu çalışmada rozase patogenezinde gün geçtikçe önemi artan Demodeks’in oküler tutulum ile ilişkisini araştırmak amaçlanmıştır. Evaluation of the incidence of Demodex in eyelashes in rosacea patients with ocular involvementZuhal Metin1, Nermin Boyraz2, Firdevs Örnek3, Evin Şingar Özdemir3, Hatice Meral Ekşioğlu21Zonguldak Atatürk State Hospital, Clinic of Dermatology, Zonguldak, Turkey2Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Clinic of Dermatology, Ankara, Turkey 3Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Clinic of Ophthalmology, Ankara, Turkey Background and Design: Demodex, a mite, is known to influence the etiopathogenesis of rosacea, pityriasis folliculorum, pustular folliculitis, perioral granulomatous dermatitis, hyperpigmented patch, and chronic blepharitis. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Demodex, which is increasingly important in the pathogenesis of rosacea, and ocular rosacea. Materials and Methods: A total of 103 rosacea patients with ocular involvement (ocular rosacea) and 140 volunteers without facial dermatosis were included in the study as the control group. Written and verbal consent was obtained from the participants. A total of five eyelashes were pulled from the upper and lower eyelids of one or both eyes of the patient group and control group, using forceps, and the presence of Demodex was examined by the epilation method and standard superficial skin biopsy method from the face. Under a light microscope, ≥1 and ≥5 Demodex per cm2 in the eyelashes and face were evaluated as positive, respectively.
