Demographic Patterns and Clinical Presentations of Demodicosis in a Longitudinal Study From Khuzestan Province, Southwest Iran
This is the first large-scale study of demodicosis in the general population of Iran, covering a 22-year period. It is also among the first worldwide to explore co-infections systematically. The findings emphasize significant demographic and clinical patterns, particularly age- and gender-specific susceptibility and the complex interplay of co-infections. These insights expand the understanding of demodicosis and highlight the importance of considering its atypical manifestations and associated infections in clinical practice.
