Resum

Rosacea is an inflamatory and chronic condition which affects adult skin, mainly in the center of the face. The prevalence of this disease varies according to the geographic area and race. Generally rises on elders and women. Usually the diagnostic is clinic and biopsy is not requiered. According to several studies exists a relation between the disease and a higher growth of Demodex folliculorum. This mite is usually found in human skin without symtoms. However higher growths plus predisponent factors could trigger problems. For determinating mite's presence tecnique as punch and shave biopsy are used. For quantifying mite's number the tissue is observed by microscopy tecniques. The aim of this project is to study the relation between rosacea and Demodex folliculorum presence in 16 biopsies from 16 patients with rosacea from Hospital Clínico of Salamanca. This relation is believed positive because in more of the half of the biopsies exits Demodex, moreover several studies support the statement.
