| Summary: |
Two cases of the very long
term observation and clinical findings of chronic
blepharitis caused by mite Demodex folliculorum are
presented. Both patients were treated for over ten years
for inflammation of the margin of the eyelid with
antibiotics and steroids administered locally. A
significant thickening of the blood vessels in the
eyelid and numerous cylindrical cuffs of dry discharge
around the base of the eyelashes persuaded us to carry
out microbiological tests on the suspect eyelashes. In
both cases we received additional test results from the
epilated eyelashes. Demodex folliculorum should be taken
into consideration as an etiological factor in cases of
chronic blepharitis. |
