[IMPACT OF OPISTHORCHIS INVASION ON THE COURSE OF A SKIN PROCESS IN PATIENTS WITH ROSACEA]

The authors give the data-and results of their investigations of 47 patents with rosacea concurrent with chronic opisthorchiasis (Group 1) and 40 patients with rosacea without opisthorhiasis (Group 2): It is found that the severer clinical manifestations of rosacea are, the lower the quality of life is in patients. The patients with rosacea concurrent with chronic opisthorchiasis were found to have severe clinical forms. Rosacea diagnostic rating scores was 1.1-fold higher than in the patients without helminthiasis, suggesting a severer course. Quality-of-life dissatisfaction in patients with rosacea concurrent with chronic opisthorchiasis was significantly higher than in those with rosacea only.
