Abstract
A simple method is described which causes rosacea patients to flush. This flush is experienced similarly to the flush which occurs spontaneously and its intensity can be measured and monitored wuantitatively. Therefore, it can be used as a suitable experimental tool to measure and compare the inhibitory effects of some drugs, as well as the fluctuations of the blood level of certain chemical vasoactive mediators. Es wird eine einfache Methode zur Erzeugung des Flushsyndroms beim Rosaceakranken beschrieben. Dieser Flush ist dem spontanen Flush ähnlich. Seine Intensität kann durch Erfassung der Hauttemperatur gemessen werden. Diese Methode ist dazu geeignet, um die Inhibitionswirkungen einiger Arzneien und vasoaktiver Substanzen zu studieren und zu vergleichen.Keywords
