Introduction: Ivermectin 1% cream (IVM 1%) is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea. The objective of this subanalysis was to compare IVM 1% vs. metronidazole 0.

Objectives: To investigate remission over a 36-week extension period in patients with moderate to severe PPR successfully treated with 16 weeks' treatment with ivermectin 1% cream once daily (QD) or metronidazole 0.75% cream twice daily (BID) in a randomized, parallel-group Phase III study.
Papulopustular rosacea (PPR) is characterized by facial erythema and inflammatory lesions believed to be primarily caused by dysregulation of the innate immune system. More recent evidence also suggests that Demodex folliculorum mites may contribute to the etiology of PPR. Ivermectin (IVM) 1% cream is a novel topical treatment developed to treat PPR.

Objectives: To demonstrate superiority of once-daily ivermectin 1% cream (IVM 1%) once daily vs. twice-daily metronidazole (MTZ 0·75%) cream, regarding percentage reduction of inflammatory lesions in subjects with moderate to severe PPR.
Background: Treatments for papulopustular rosacea (PPR) are limited.
Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy and safety of once-daily ivermectin 1% cream in subjects with moderate to severe PPR.
Methods: Two identically designed, randomized, double-blind, controlled studies of ivermectin 1% cream (IVM 1%) or vehicle once daily for 12 weeks were conducted in subjects with moderate to severe PPR.
From April 16 1987 through May 16 1987, during an outbreak of gastroenteritis, stool specimens were obtained from 53 children aged 18 to 36 months among the 90 children attending an on-site day-care center for the staff of a large teaching hospital in the Paris urban area (59%). Oocysts of Cryptosporidium were found in 11 specimens (21%) using an auramine staining technique. Children with diarrhea were more likely to have stools containing Cryptosporidium (p less than 0.
