ABSTRACT Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that involves mainly the midface. The etiology and pathogenesis of rosacea is not fully understood. Objective — the study was aimed at assessing the clinical course and anamnestic data in patients with rosacea. Material and methods. A total of 78 patients with rosacea aged 22 to 74 years were followed. Most patients (30, 38.5%) were 51 to 60 years old; the average age was 48 years. There were 16 (20.5%) males and 62 (79.5%) females. Male to female ratio was 1: 3.8. Twenty (25.7%) patients had erythematous-telangiectatic rosacea, 45 (57.7%) — papulopustular, 10 (12.8%) — pustular-nodular. Results. Most patients were females (79.5%) with a third phototype (60.3%) and family history of rosacea (37.2%). In the cases of familial form of the disease, patient’s mother suffered from rosacea in 11 (14.1%) cases, father — 4 (5.1%), sister — 4 (5.1%), maternal aunt — 4 (5.1%), maternal grandmothers — 2 (2.5%), paternal aunt — 3 (3.8%), and paternal grandmother — 1 (1.3%). In the group of patients with erythematous-telangiectatic rosacea, DSR (diagnostic scale for rosacea) score was much higher in patients with papulopustular rosacea (11.1±1.4 points). Conclusion. Rosacea is more common in females; familiar forms are characteristic of rosacea. Papulopustular stage was often diagnosed (57.7%); symptoms of ophthalmo-rosacea were observed in 37.1% of patients, often during pustular-nodular stage.
