Abstract
Rosacea, a frequent chronic inflammatory disease of the adnexal structures, is associated with an increased number of demodex mites. In patients with immunosuppression, it can present in fulminant progressions like granulomatous rosacea. In this specific subgroup of patients, treatment is not only complicated by aggressive occurrences, but is also limited by possible drug interactions with immunosuppressive drugs. We present a case of a 66-year-old lung transplant recipient, who was successfully treated with oral metronidazole and ivermectin cream.Entities:
