A really interesting thread is going on in the rosacea-support group. Dan is airing some of his thoughts on how a pathogen might lead to the chronic inflammation we see in rosacea. Even though Dan clearly states he has no medical background (and indeed it is worth remembering this point) it is clear that he has done a lot of reading on this topic.
- Message 93555: Rosacea and pathogen link? (be sure to read the followup posts at the bottom of the thread too).
Some more thoughts on a possible link: Chlamydia pneumoniae and Rosacea: A potential link?
Chlamydia pneumoniae may be something new to many (it was to me), so also see the wikipedia page: Chlamydophila pneumoniae and also the RSRP: Chlamydia pneumoniae
