Azathioprine-induced rosacea

Abstract

In a recent study from our department 7/54 adult atopic dermatitis patients treated with systemic immunosuppressants were referred by ophthalmologists because of severe ocular involvement keratoconjunctivitis with or without keratoconus associated with milder skin symptoms (2).

We report the case of a woman affected by atopic dermatitis and asthma in childhood who developed at 63 years of age conjunctivitis associated with blepharitis without causative contact allergen identification at skin testing. She received multiple topical and systemic treatments including cyclosporine 2mg/kg/day stopped after 4 days because of digestive adverse effects.
