چکیده
The aim of the study was to identify Bacillus species from the Demodex folliculorum of patients with topical steroidinduced facial rosaceiform dermatitis. Of the 75 patients examined, 20% had clinical spinulosis, while 18.66% had dermoscopic features of Demodex: follicular plugs and tails. Of the 17.33% positive patients identified upon microscopy for Demodex, samples for bacterial culture were plated on trypticase soy Colombia agar. Identification was performed by microorganisms grown method mass spectrometry. We identified a strain of Bacillus cereus.

متن کاملIdentification of demodex ectoparasite and its association with facial skin lesions among in women
Background and Aim: Demodex is a common mite and ectoparasite in humans and animals. The existence of Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis in human skin can have a role in some inflammatory skin diseases such as acne, rosacea, and dermatitis. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of Demodex ectoparasite in women and its possible association with skin lesions. Methods: Fifty women wi...
متن کاملCrusted Demodicosis in an Immunocompetent Pediatric Patient
Demodicosis refers to the infestation by Demodex spp., a saprophytic mite of the pilosebaceous unit. Demodex proliferation can result in a number of cutaneous disorders including pustular folliculitis, pityriasis folliculorum, papulopustular, and granulomatous rosacea, among others. We report the case of a 7-year-old female presenting with pruritic grayish crusted lesions over her nose and chee...
متن کاملTopical Steroid Induce Demodicidosis as a Presentation of Hemifacial Rosacea-Like Lesion
Demodex mites share a commensal relationship with humans, and they asymptomatically parasitize the pilosebaceous follicles of humans. In healthy skin, the density of the mites is normally low, and this low density does not cause skin diseases. When the density of these mites increases, they induce facial skin diseases. We describe a 27-year-old male who presented in our outpatient department wi...
