Modern aspects of complex treatment of demodicosis blepharonconjunctivitis

Abstract

Blepharitis caused by the Demodex mite is the most common of all inflammatory diseases of the eyelids. Parasite carriage is observed in up to 89% of patients, but the majority of carriers don`t have pathological signs. In conditions of reduced immunity, under the influence of adverse external conditions and internal factors, diseases of the nervous, vascular, endocrine and digestive systems, metabolic disorders, demodicosis occur. Asymptomatic carrier of the parasite is possible. The tick parasitizes in the ducts of the sebaceous, meibomian glands and hair follicles. Only drug therapy of demodicosis is ineffective, as only the most superficial ticks die.
