Features of the Immune Status and its Correction in Adolescents with Skin Demodicosis
Journal Title: Актуальна інфектологія - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Demodicosis — a parasitic skin disease caused by Demodex mites. At the moment, we study the state of the immune status in children with various forms of demodicosis. The study included 32 patients aged 13–18 years. Sick children were divided into three groups depending on the background state of the skin. As a result, we have found a reduction in CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ markers and an increase in CD22+, CD16+, CD25+, CD95+ and HLA-DR, which indicates the stage of relative compensation, characterizes a particular type of immune response and may be a predisposing factor for the development of demodectic infestation.
