Ocular rosacea in blacks.

D J Browning, G Rosenwasser, M Lugo

    American Journal of Ophthalmology
    |April 15, 1986

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Ocular rosacea can be challenging to diagnose in Black patients due to skin hyperpigmentation obscuring typical signs. However, standard treatments like oral tetracycline and topical corticosteroids remain effective for ocular rosacea in diverse populations.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Rosacea is a common inflammatory skin condition with potential ocular complications.
    • Ocular rosacea diagnosis can be complicated by patient demographics and skin pigmentation.

    Observation:

    • Three Black men presented with ocular rosacea, but the diagnosis was delayed.
    • Hyperpigmentation of the skin masked the characteristic facial erythema of rosacea.

    Findings:

    • Ocular manifestations varied from mild blepharitis and conjunctival hyperemia to severe corneal issues like neovascularization, thinning, ulceration, and perforation.
    • Treatment with oral tetracycline and topical corticosteroids showed efficacy comparable to that in previously reported white patients.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering ocular rosacea even when classic skin signs are absent in patients with darker skin.

  • Suggests that diagnostic and treatment approaches for ocular rosacea may not require significant modification based on race.
  • Emphasizes the need for increased awareness of rosacea's varied presentation across different ethnic groups.
