We highlight the presentation, treatment, and underscore demodicosis as an important, under recognized cause of blepharitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Asymptomatic

  Because demodicosis is highly age-dependent and can be found in asymptomatic adults, the pathogenicity of these mites has long been debated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  These infestations are actually usually asymptomatic, which means you won't feel anything or see anything as a result of it. [study.com]

• Recurrent Inflammation

  During a follow-up period of 8.3 4.6 months, 1 patient showed recurrent inflammation, which was successfully managed by a second round of TTO treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Partial Alopecia

  Crusty skin lesions and flaking scales ( J15 .21.w1, B284 .6.w6, B291 .12.w12) BEARS In a female Ursus americanus - American black bear from northern Wisconsin, partial alopecia and scabs. ( J1 .14.w9) Five of 70 live-trapped bears were noted to have [wildpro.twycrosszoo.org]

• Skin Thickening

  Symptomatic forms are seen most commonly in the dog and include: Localised lesions: slight hair loss and skin thickening on the face and forelimbs. [wildpro.twycrosszoo.org]

• Strabismus

• Suggestibility

  A review of three previous reports suggested that one mite for every two lashes represents an over population of this nearly ubiquitous mite. Greasy scales on the lashes and foamy tears suggested that seborrhea was present as well as demodicosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Fear

  Evidence of phobia should, provisionally, be labelled with the nonperjorative term symbiophobia (herein coined for "fear of association with organisms"), and the causative organisms, if present, treated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Confusion

  While human demodicosis is a skin disease sui generis, it can mimic many other inflammatory dermatoses, such as folliculitis, rosacea and perioral dermatitis, leading to unspecific and confusing descriptions in the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• HLA-A2

  Individuals who have the HLA A2 phenotype are 2.9 times more resistant to demodicosis. A positive correlation between demodicosis and the haplotypes A3-Cw4, A3-Cw2, A3-B17, A3-B35 and B35-Cw4 was found. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Eyelid scrubs or massage with TTO could be an effective treatment regimen in these cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Considering clinical similarities of demodicosis, rosacea and some mycotic infections, direct examination to confirm the etiological agent is highly recommended prior to treatment. Copyright John Libbey Eurotext 2003. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All causes leading to immunocompromisation are generally due to etiological factors [ 15 ]. For immunocompetent patients, oral sex (fellatio) may be the primary cause [ 16 ]. [doi.org]

METHODS: We conducted a prospective epidemiologic study among 10 dermatologists. High Demodex density (Dd) was confirmed by standardized skin surface biopsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hence, demodicosis may be seriously considered in antibiotic-resistant facial papulopustular eruptions in this group of patients to prevent delay of adequate treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ether and alcohol should be used with caution, and corneal contact should be prevented. A combination of this in-office treatment with a home regimen is suggested. [emedicine.medscape.com]
