We present an interesting case of recurrent, iatrogenic demodicosis in a 56-year-old man. We suspect this to have been triggered by antifungal therapy given it occurred twice closely following azole treatment. We propose that oral antifungals in the setting of immunosuppression can alter the skin microbiome, facilitating Demodex proliferation.PMID:36741596 | PMC:PMC9894334 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.33309{url} = URL to article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
