What is Demodicosis?

Demodicosis is a condition caused by an overgrowth of “Demodex mites”. To clarify, the Demodex mite is a kind of parasite found near or inside the pilosebaceous units. “Demodex folliculorum” and “Demodex brevis” are two species typically found in humans. Although the infestation usually remains asymptomatic, it may have a pathogenic role only when present in high densities, besides immune imbalance. In these circumstances, the host’s immune system is unable to keep the mites under control.

It is important to note that mites are specific to each hosting category. Therefore, the cross-species transmission does not occur in this organism.

Demodicosis Histology

Under the microscope, Demodicosis shows signs of follicular and perifollicular chronic inflammation along with follicular dilatation and dense homogenous eosinophilic material surrounding the mites. There can also be a granulomatous tissue reaction.

Demodicosis usually affects adults or people with defective immune systems.

Symptoms

In different limbs, Demodex can show different symptoms. The manifestations of the condition on the face are as follows: itching, eczema, papules, macules, folliculitis, redness, pigmentation, sensitive skin and follicular scales.

Patients with Demodicosis may suffer from eye irritation, itching, and blepharitis. They may experience lid thickening, loss of lashes, conjunctival inflammation, and decreased vision.
