Rosacea (růžovka) je onemocnění, které má multifaktoriální příčinu a komplexní patofyziologii a která se neomezuje pouze na kůži. V klinické praxi je rosacea spojena s řadou komorbidit a v současné době se vede diskuze o tom, zda není rosacea onemocněním systémovým.

Rosacea is a disease that has a multifactorial cause and a complex pathophysiology that is not limited to the skin. In clinical practice, rosacea is associated with a variety of comorbidities and there is currently a debate as to whether rosacea is a systemic sickness. The author briefly reviews those diseases that are more common in rosacea than in the general population. In particular, he mentions cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neuropsychiatric and autoimmune diseases, as well as some types of tumours. Internists should be sufficiently familiar with these issues. When examining a patient with rosacea, they must take a broader approach and in a timely manner diagnose and treat the identified comorbidities.
