Акне и розацеа часто встречаются в клинической практике дерматолога. Данные заболевания могут развиться одновременно у одного пациента. Чаще всего с акне сочетается эритематозная форма розацеа. Из-за схожести клинических проявлений с акне диагноз розацеа может быть легко пропущен. Общими патогенетическими факторами двух заболеваний считаются генетика, изменение в микробиоме, иммунные нарушения и дисфункция кожного барьера. Работ, посвященных взаимосвязи акне и розацеа, немного. Недавнее исследование выявило ряд общих дифференциально экспрессируемых генов, среди которых ИЛ-1B и ММР9, а также показало, что гамма-дельта-Т-клетки могут играть важную роль в развитии обоих заболеваний. Несмотря на общность патогенеза и схожесть некоторых клинических проявлений (папул и пустул), акне и розацеа необходимо различать. При розацеа наблюдается стойкая эритема лица, индуцируемая сосудорегулирующими нейтропептидами, тогда как при акне воспалительный процесс возникает из-за избытка кожного сала и изменений микробиома кожи. Для системной терапии обоих заболеваний применяется изотретиноин. Препарат оказывает влияние на уровень некоторых цитокинов, в том числе ингибирует экспрессию матриксной MMP9. Кроме того, он снижает выработку кожного сала при акне, а за счет его способности изменять микроокружение кожи позволяет снизить количество Propionibacterium acnes при акне и Demodex folliculorum при розацеа. Суточные и куммулятивные дозы при розацеа и акне будут различаться, как и топическая терапия при данных заболеваниях. Для лечения акне хорошо зарекомендовало себя сочетание клиндамицина и бензоила пероксида, позволяющее быстро добиться значимого клинического эффекта. При розацеа в качестве топического средства рекомендовано применять метронидазол в кремовой форме, которая обладает лучшей переносимостью. У пациентов, одновременно страдающих обоими заболеваниями, для снятия острого воспаления необходимо использовать комбинацию клиндамицина и бензоила пероксида, после чего возможно перейти на применение метронидазола.
Acne and rosacea are frequently encountered in the clinical practice of a dermatologist. These diseases can develop simultaneously in the same patient. Most often, the erythematous form of rosacea is combined with acne. Because of the similarity of clinical manifestations with acne, the diagnosis of rosacea can be easily missed. Common pathogenetic factors in the 2 diseases are thought to be genetics, alterations in the microbiome, immune disorders, and skin barrier dysfunction. There are few works addressing the relationship between acne and rosacea. A recent study identified a number of common differentially expressed genes, including interleukin-1B and matrix metalloproteinase 9, and showed that gamma delta T cells may play an important role in the development of both diseases. Despite the common pathogenesis and the similarity of some clinical manifestations (papules and pustules), acne and rosacea must be distinguished. In rosacea, there is persistent facial erythema induced by vasoregulatory neutropeptides, whereas in acne, the inflammatory process is due to excess sebum and changes in the skin microbiome. Isotretinoin is used for systemic therapy of both diseases. The drug affects the level of some cytokines, including inhibiting the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9. In addition, it reduces sebum production in acne, and due to its ability to alter the skin microenvironment, it can reduce Propionibacterium acnes in acne and Demodex folliculorum in rosacea. Daily and cumulative doses for rosacea and acne will differ, as will topical therapy for these conditions. For acne, the combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide is well established for the treatment of acne, allowing rapid meaningful clinical effect. In rosacea, metronidazole in cream form, which has better tolerability, is recommended as a topical agent. In patients suffering from both diseases simultaneously, a combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide should be used to relieve acute inflammation, after which it is possible to switch to metronidazole.
