Treatment of rosacea with isotretinoin.
    International journal of dermatology, 1986, Volume: 25, Issue:10

    A multicenter trial of isotretinoin in severe papulopustular rosacea in adult patients was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this treatment. A 20-week course of therapy was instituted in 92 patients from 11 dermatology departments. At the end of the study period, isotretinoin was found to be highly effective in the clearing of refractory rosacea lesions.

[Treatment of acne rosacea with 13-cis-retinoic acid].
    Medicina cutanea ibero-latino-americana, 1987, Volume: 15, Issue:4

    13 patients of both sexes, affected by a severe form of papular rosacea, were treated with 13-cis retinoic acid (1 mg/kg/day) for 2 months. One patient interrupted the treatment after 15 days because of severe blepharitis. The size and number of papules were progressively reduced from the 2nd week, reaching complete regression at the 6th week. Three patients complained of mild blepharitis, 9 patients developed dry cheilitis.

Blepharoconjunctivitis: a side effect of 13-cis-retinoic acid therapy for dermatologic diseases.
    Ophthalmology, 1979, Volume: 86, Issue:5

    Blepharoconjunctivitis developed as a side-effect of treatment of patients with basal cell carcinomas, keratinizing dermatoses, and cystic acne with oral 13-cis-retinoic acid. Forty-two of the 97 dermatologic patients had signs and symptoms of blepharoconjunctivitis that were dose related and abated one week after discontinuation of the medication. About half of the patients had a history of similar symptoms prior to treatment. Staphylococcus aureus was present in eye cultures of 73% to 79% of the patients, whether symptomatic or not. Patients whose clinical appearance was that of staphylococcal blepharoconjunctivitis and whose cultures grew S aureus were successfully treated with topical erythromycin ointment to the lids even while being treated with the 13-cis-retinoic acid.
