Abstract

XACUR-GARCIA, Fiona et al. Clinical manifestations and long-term outcomes in three ocular rosacea cases treated at a highly specialized hospital in southeast México. Biomed. [online]. 2020, vol.40, n.3, pp.448-455.  Epub June 30, 2020. ISSN 0120-4157.  https://doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.5001.

Rosacea is a chronic skin disorder that has been associated with unspecific etiological factors and diverse systemic manifestations. Cutaneous rosacea usually evolves to ocular rosacea in 6 to 72% of patients. In the absence of specific criteria to characterize this pathology, ocular rosacea can mean a diagnostic challenge. To strengthen early diagnostic suspicion, we present three cases of patients with different clinical evolution who had in common diagnostic delay resulting in severe manifestations and extensive ocular damage.
