“…Over a significant period of time, there have been numerous attempts to connect the etiopathogenesis of rosacea with the presence of some micro-organisms on or within the skin (Lazaridou et al, 2011), including Demodex mites and bacteria. It is well established that there is a higher density of Demodex mites in the skin of rosacea patients than control patients but the significance of this has been disputed (Vance, 1986;Bonnar et al, 1993;Erbagci & Ozgöztaşi, 1998). This review will explore the current understanding of the role of these organisms in the induction of rosacea.…”

“…A pilosebaceus egységben élnek, táplálékukat a faggyúból és hámsejtekbôl nyerik (5, 13). A Demodex folliculorum általában a bôrfelszínhez közel helyezkedik el és gyakori, hogy egy folliculusban több (akár 10-15) atka talál-ható fejjel a mirigyvégkamra irányában (4,5,8,10,13). A Demodex brevis egy-egy egyedként, inkább mélyeb-ben található a faggyúmirigyek kivezetôcsövében illetve a mirigyben (6,10).…”

“…Rosaceás és nem specifikus arci gyulladásos tünetekkel jelentkezô betegekben kifejezettebb Demodex kolonizá-ciót találtak (8,13,17) és az intra-és esetenként extrafollicularisan kimutatható atkák szerepét felvetették a rosaceában észlelt, CD4 sejtekbôl álló gyulladásos infiltrátum valamint a papulopustulosus és granulomatosus tünetek kialakulásában is (3,14,20,23), azonban egyértelmû kór-oki szerepük nem igazolódott (9,23). Szintén megnöve-kedett Demodex számot találtak perioralis dermatitisben, Grover-betegségben, eosinophil folliculitisben, papulopu- (11,24,25).…”

“…In some cases, therapy with metronidazole was not successful [28], which supports an etiological role of Demodex in certain cutaneous pathologies. Although some authors have demonstrated the presence of a high density of Demodex in common rosacea [18,29], the latter usually responds to Metronidazole, with clearance of the symptoms, even if the number of Demodex persists [30]. We could then assume that in certain cutaneous pathologies, Demodex acts as an innocent observer rather than a pathogen.…”

“…There has been some speculation about the clinical differences between the two types of rosacea [10,29]; on one hand, the one which is associated with Demodex as a causal agent presents a "dry" eruption [10], with follicular scaling, vesicles and pustules. On the other hand, the common rosacea usually presents an oily skin, without scales, and the pustules and papules appear inflamed [28].…”
