ABSTRACT

Yeasts of the Malassezia genus are present in the normal skin flora. So far, 14 species have been identified: Malassezia furfur, M. pachydermatis, M. sympodialis, M. globosa, M. obtusa, M. restricta, M. slooffiae, M. dermatis, M. japonica, M. nana, M. yamatoensis, M. caprae, M. equina and M. cuniculi.
Found worldwide, with a higher incidence in tropical and subtropical regions, pityriasis versicolor is a superficial infection consisting of hypochromic scaly macules. The gold standard in diagnosis is direct observation of spores and short filaments.
