다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background：Rosacea is a common chronic disorder in the fourth and fifth decades. However, there have been few clinical studies of rosacea in Korea. Objective：The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical manifestations of the rosacea and the correlation between the severity of the rosacea and acne, seborrhea, and atopic dermatitis. Method：We performed a clinical study in 82 new patients with rosacea who visited the Department of Dermatology, Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicine during a 2 year period from 1997 to 1999. Results & Conclusions：1. Among the 8491 new out patients 82 persons were diagnosed as having rosacea, giving a prevalence 0.97% (women 51 cases, men 31 cases). 2. The age distribution showed a peak incidence in the fifth decade (34.1%). 3. The mean duration of rosacea was 6.1 years. 4. The stage 1 (51.2%) showing episodic flushing, persistent erythema and telangiectasia was the most common type of rosacea. 5. The most common exacerbating factor was sun exposure (68.3%), followed by hot bath (60.9%), alcohol (54.9%), hot food (45.1%), and spicy food (28%). 6. There was no correlation between the severity of rosacea and the severity of the pubertal acne, seborrhea, and presence of the past history of atopic dermatitis. (Korean J Dermatol 2000;38(5)：583~588)
