“…In the examination of healthy people by light microscopy, Demodex mites were detected in 6 cases (2.8%). Given the ability of the mites to move over the surface of the skin at a speed of 8-16 mm/h, 9,10 as well as random selection of the study site, this fact does not prove the absence of mites. Given the species belonging to Demodex mites in healthy people (all had Demodex brevis); the absence of a clinical picture of the condition confirms that this species belongs to saprophyte of facial skin.…”

Clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment of rosacea, complicated by Demodex mites

The article analyzes the clinical picture and course of rosacea in patients with Demodex mites. It presents the advantages of using the method of confocal laser scanning microscopy over the method of light microscopy of facial skin scrapes. The aimes were to study the influence of Demodex mites on the clinical picture and course of rosacea; to compare laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods for detecting Demodex mites; to evaluate the effectiveness of external therapy aimed at eliminating Demodex mites. 212 people were examined. The study included healthy patients, patients with a diagnosis of rosacea with the presence and absence of Demodex. The presence of Demodex mites was confirmed by two methods of study (light microscopy of skin scrapes and confocal laser scanning in vivo microscopy). Demodex mites promote the development of acute-inflammatory morphological elements, increase the duration of the condition (more than 5 years, P<0.01) and the probability of recurrence (from 1 to 3 relapses in 39.5% of patients, P<0.05), resulting in a decrease in the quality of life of patients (dermatology life quality index is 12.5±4.5, P<0.05). Antiparasitic drug ivermectin, in the form of an external form, at a concentration of 1% has a high therapeutic efficacy (in 93.3% of cases). Demodex folliculorum shows signs of parasitism, while Demodex folliculorum brevis is a saprophyte. The severity of the condition does not depend on the quantitative load of the mites in the scrape. As an antiparasitic drug, it is recommended to use 1% ivertmectin.

“…Considering the ability of mites to move along the surface of the skin at a speed of 8-16 mm/h, as well as random selection of the study site, this fact does not prove the absence mites [10,11]. Mites of the genus Demodex in the number <5 individuals per 1 cm² were detected much more often (n=40, 37.8%, respectively).…”

“…Die Rolle von Demodex folliculorum bei der Entstehung einer Blepharitis ist umstritten [1,2]. Demodex folliculorum scheinen eher in der Unterhaltung als in der Pathogenese einer Blepharitis eine Rolle zu spielen.…”

In vivo confocal microscopy allowed the examination of the tear film, the tarsal conjunctiva, the lid margin including the lash follicles and the meibomian glands. In patients with meibomian gland disease pathological changes could be visualised and documented objectively. The presence of an inflammatory infiltrate permitted us to differentiate between meibomitis and meibomian gland dysfunction. Changes of the lash follicles do not seem to play an important role in blepharitis. Thus, in vivo confocal microscopy represents an objective technique in the classification and follow-up of patients with blepharitis.
