Demodex mite blepharitis; Look for the mite you might have
Blepharitis is a common ocular disease, characterized by redness and itchy eyelid margin. Demodex ectoparasite mite infestation is an underreported cause of blepharitis in urban setting. Purpose of this study was to estimate proportion of individuals with blepharitis showing evidence of Demodex mite infestation. Overall, 20 individuals with blepharitis and collarettes showed presence of Demodex mite on light microscopy. The study emphasizes the importance of light microscopic examination of epilated eyelash for timely diagnosis of Demodex infestation.
