Figure 3. Localization and density of myelinated sensory nerves (NF200) in human skin, as shown by immunohistochemistry and quantitative analysis of stained dermis.

Figure 3

Immunoreactivity for neurofilament was observed in erythematous rosacea (ETR, n = 9), papulopustular rosacea (PPR; n = 9), phymatous rosacea (PhR; n = 9), lupus erythematosus (LE; n = 9), and healthy skin (HS; n = 10; bar = 100 μm; a–e). There was a marked but not statistically significant increase of nerves in ETR (× 2.34) followed by a gradual decrease. Increase of neurofilament-positive nerves was comparable in PPR and LE (unfilled circle represents outlier) (f).
