title: [Clinical features of the blepharoconjunctivitis type of the dry eye in demodicosis].
abstract: The paper presents data on demodicosis-induced blepharoconjunctivitis complicated by the dry eye, such as predictors, etiology, and pathogenesis of this disease. It gives a concise outline of the life history of mites and their species parasitizing on the human skin cycle and an extended treatment regimen for blepharoconjunctivitis complicated by the dry eye. The time course of changes in the pathological signs of blepharitis is shown when the latter is treated using the given regimen and the treatment is discontinued. The authors provide the data of Schirmer's test and Norn's test, which have been used to support the results of the present investigation. The mechanism of action of the drugs considered in the paper on the eyelids is outlined. There is a tendency for demodicosis-induced blepharoconjunctivitis to be completely eliminated and the signs of the dry eye to be compensated when meticulously chosen therapy, including hygienic measures, is performed.
