“…In some studies, it was reported that symptoms such as facial redness, itching, rash, and a burning sensation are associated with Demodex spp. Positivity (24)(25)(26)(27)(28). In a study examining the relationship between papulopustular rosacea and Demodex spp., it was found that the most common clinical symptom in cases with parasites was a burning sensation and rash on the skin (29).…”

Objective: Demodex mites are microscopic arthropods that live on the skin of mammals and are obligate parasites. Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are two species known to settle on the skin of humans. Demodex mite infections are called demodicosis. Demodicosis, which is usually asymptomatic, is known to cause some skin diseases as a result of an imbalance in immune system mechanisms This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between Demodex spp. infestations and clinical signs, such as immunodeficiency, rosacea, blepharitis and facial itching, facial flushing, facial tenderness, facial rash, and sunburn. Methods: A total of 350 patients, 178 of whom were immunosuppressed and 172 who were immunocompetent, were included in the study. Samples were taken from the nose, chin, and forehead areas, using the standard superficial skin biopsy method and were examined under a microscope. Results: Demodex spp. was detected in 224 of the 350 patients, including 144 (80.90%) of the 178 immunosuppressed patients and 88 (51.16%) of the 172 immunocompetent patients included in the study. The difference between Demodex spp. positivity in the immunosuppressed patients and positivity in the immunocompetent patients was statistically significant. In addition, a relationship was found between Demodex spp. and some clinical symptoms. Conclusions: Demodex spp. remains a health problem in rosacea and immunosuppressed patients. It was concluded that Demodex spp. should definitely be considered in cases of facial sensitivity, facial rash, and facial flushing in both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients, especially in the presence of sunburn in immunosuppressed patients, which was revealed by this study.

“…İnsan vücudunda, sebum üretiminin fazla olduğu bölgelerde daha sık görülmektedir. Çoğunlukla yüz bölgesi olmakla birlikte, dış kulak yolu, kalça, göğüs, sırt, meme ucu, genital bölgelerdeki kıl folikülleri ve derideki yağ bezleri gibi farklı yerlere yerleşerek yaşamlarını sürdürürler (Aycan, Otlu, Karaman, Daldal ve Atambay, 2007;Cengiz vd., 2014;Ertuğ, Tileklioğlu, Yıldız, Malatyalı ve Ertabaklar, 2020;Yazar, Kuk, Doğan ve Şahin, 2012).…”

Bu çalışma ile kuaför salonu çalışanlarında ve hizmet alan bireylerde Demodex spp’nin görülme sıklığının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmaya Van ili merkez ilçelerinde hizmet veren 55 kuaför salonu çalışanı ve kuaför hizmeti alan 55 kişi dâhil edildi. Örnekler standart yüzeysel deri biyopsisi yöntemi ile burun, çene ve alın bölgelerinden alındı. Bu örneklerin üzerine birer damla Hoyer eriyiği damlatıldıktan sonra mikroskopta, 10’luk ve 20’lik objektif ile akarların erişkin, larva, nimf ve yumurta formları araştırıldı. Çalışmaya dahil edilen 55 kuaför çalışanının %29.8’inde, kuaför hizmeti alan 55 bireyin %70.2’sinde Demodex spp saptandı. Demodex spp görülme sıklığı açısından kuaför çalışanları ile hizmet alanlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon bulundu. Parazit saptanan 47 olgudan 44’ünün kadın, 3’ünün erkek olduğu belirlendi. Cinsiyet ile parazitin görülme sıklığı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu. Kişisel bakım ve hijyen merkezlerinde hizmet alan insanlara, bu parazit hakkında bilgilendirici el broşürlerinin dağıtılmasının Demodex spp görülme sıklığını düşürebileceği kanaatine varıldı.
