OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the frequency of @entity277 in @entity1 with and without @entity14985 and to determine the effects of @entity277 on @entity14985 and the ocular symptoms. METHODS: The study included @entity1 with chronic mixed (anterior + posterior) @entity14985 who presented to our clinic. @entity1 with @entity2516 and no @entity2194 were enrolled as the control group. From each @entity1 , a total of 4 eyelashes were removed and were then examined under a light microscope for @entity277 . Symptoms, @entity941 tear breakup time, and ocular surface staining pattern were recorded. RESULTS: The prevalence of @entity281 in the @entity14985 group was 67.2%, versus 54.9% in the control group (P=0.18). The incidence of itching in the @entity14985 group was significantly higher in the Demodex (+) @entity1 than in the Demodex (-) @entity1 (P<0.001). @entity941 tear breakup time in the Demodex (+) @entity1 was significantly shorter than in the Demodex (-) @entity1 (P<0.001). There was not a significant difference in the @entity941 staining pattern between the 2 groups (P=0.57). The incidence of advanced stage @entity14985 was significantly higher among the Demodex (+) @entity1 (P=0.007). The incidence of @entity17951 in the @entity14985 group was significantly higher in the Demodex (+) @entity1 (P<0.001). There was a significant difference in @entity409 between the 2 groups (P=0.039). CONCLUSION: @entity277 must be investigated in @entity1 with advanced stage @entity14985 , itching, and shorter than normal @entity941 tear breakup time.
