Virulence gene expression in Malassezia spp from individuals with seborrheic dermatitis.
TO THE EDITOR Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that compromises skin areas rich in sebaceous glands, such as the face, scalp, and upper trunk. The condition is frequently observed in acquired immune deficiency syndrome patients (30–85% compared with 3–5% of immunocompetent adults). Its appearance is considered to be an early marker of the evolutionary trend of HIV in...
متن کاملEvaluation of Expression of Lipases and Phospholipases of Malassezia restricta in Patients with Seborrheic Dermatitis
BACKGROUND Malassezia species (spp.) are cutaneous opportunistic pathogens and associated with various dermatological diseases including seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff and atopic dermatitis. Almost all Malassezia spp. are obligatorily lipid-dependent, which might be caused by lack of the myristic acid synthesis. Recent genome analysis of M. restricta and M. globosa suggested that the absence o...
متن کاملIdentification of Malassezia Species Isolated from Patients with Seborrheic Dermatitis Using PCR-RFLP Method in Arak, Iran
Abstract Background and Objective: Malassezia that is a part of normal flora is lipophilic yeast involved in a variety of skin diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis versicolor, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Seborrheic dermatitis affects most often the sebaceous-gland-rich areas of skin such as face, scalp, and parts of the upper trunk. Dandruff is a mild variant of seborrheic de...
متن کاملPrevalence of Malassezia species isolated from skin of patients with seborrheic dermatitis reffered to Tonekabon clinics by PCR- Sequencing method
Abstract Background and Objective: Malassezia yeast is considered lipophilic normal flora of human skin and warm-blooded vertebrates. This fungus is an opportunistic pathogen in causing seborrheic dermatitis. In this study, the yeasts isolated from the crust of the patients with seborrheic dermatitis were identified by PCR-Sequencing. Material and Methods: In this study, 65 ...
متن کاملIdentification of Malassezia species from immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients with seborrheic dermatitis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Differences in prevalence, clinical and histological manifestations between seborrheic dermatitis (SD) in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients suggest that these two populations might also differ in a spectrum of isolated Malassezia species. The purpose of our study was to analyse the prevalence of Malassezia species in immunocompromised and non-immunocomprom...
