There is a limited therapeutic armamentarium for recalcitrant cases of childhood rosacea.
We report the case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with severe ocular and cutaneous rosacea unresponsive to oral doxycycline, oral isotretinoin, and topical tacrolimus. A biopsy specimen showed numerous mites within the folliculosebaceous unit. Treatment with a single dose of oral ivermectin achieved resolution of her symptoms.
The causative role of Demodex folliculorum should be considered in immunocompetent children with rosacea or rosacea-like refractory eruptions. In such cases, treatment with ivermectin can be beneficial.
对于顽固的儿童酒渣鼻病例,治疗方法有限。
我们报告了一例 12 岁女孩的病例,她患有严重的眼部和皮肤酒渣鼻,对口服多西环素、口服异维 A 酸和外用他克莫司均无反应。活检标本显示在毛囊皮脂腺单位内有许多螨虫。单次口服伊维菌素治疗后,她的症状得到缓解。
对于免疫功能正常的儿童,若出现酒渣鼻或类似酒渣鼻的难治性皮疹,应考虑毛囊蠕形螨的致病作用。在这种情况下,使用伊维菌素治疗可能有益。
