PURPOSE To investigate the correlation between demodicosis and chalazia in patients with the latter. DESIGN Prospective, observational, comparative study. METHODS Forty-four adult and 47 pediatric patients with chalazia and 34 adult and 30 pediatric age- and sex-matched patients without chalazia treated at an institutional referral eye center were included. All 155 patients underwent lash s...

ated, he proposed that the life cycle of D. folliculorum mites was about 14.5 days. He also demonstrated that all life stages of these mites were negatively phototaxic, that is they were more mobile in a dark environment and relatively inert when bright light was shone on them. However, until optimal in vitro culture techniques and conditions allow Demodex proliferation in the laboratory, the t...

PURPOSE To determine the correlative relationship between the prevalence of Demodex in eyelashes and the severity of ocular discomfort, by investigating the demographic epidemiology associated with Demodex. METHODS One hundred seventy patients underwent epilation of four eyelashes of each eye, and the number of Demodex was counted. The patients answered questionnaires about ocular surface dis...

Although solar irradiation is the major factor in the development of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), some other factors also seem to play an etiopathogenetic role regarding the fact that relatively sun-protected areas are also often involved. Pilosebaceous follicle mites, Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are found most frequently and densely in the same facial areas including eyelids, forehe...

Objective: Demodex folliculorum and brevis are two species known to settle on the skin of humans. mite infections called demodicosis. Demodicosis, which is usually asymptomatic, cause some diseases as a result an imbalance in immune system mechanisms This study was conducted investigate relationship between spp. infestations clinical signs, such immunodeficiency, rosacea, blepharitis facial itc...
