Is the presence of Demodex folliculorum increased with impaired glucose regulation in polycystic ovary syndrome?

This study presents new information about the relationship between the presence of D. folliculorum and impaired glucose regulation in women with PCOS. What do the results of this study add? D. folliculorum is seen more commonly in skin lesions in patients with PCOS with impaired blood glucose regulation. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? D. folliculorum is present in both skin and eyelash lesions in patients with PCOS. These lesions may be prevented by avoiding unregulated glucose levels and obesity. In future studies, the investigation of the resorption of D. folliculorum parasites in skin lesions with the continuation of normal glucose levels in patients with PCOS will reveal a more interesting linkage.
