Skin Characteristics in Patients with Pityriasis Versicolor Using Non-Invasive Method, MPA5
BACKGROUND Skin pigmentary changes of pityriasis versicolor may occur as either hyperpigmented or hypopigmented lesions, depending on the outcome of interactions between Malassezia yeasts and the skin, such as lipoperoxidation process, stimulus of inflammatory cell to melanocytes, and increased thickness of keratin layer. OBJECTIVE To investigate skin characteristic factors that enhance the s...
متن کاملDetermination of Malassezia species isolated from patients with Pityriasis Versicolor using PCR-restriction enzyme method
Background and aim: Malassezia species are part of the resident skin flora of humans. These yeasts are associated with various superficial diseases, including seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, dandruff, and psoriasis. Various DNA-based molecular methods have been recently described to differentiate species of Malassezia. In this survey, a simple, reliable, and cost effective PCR-b...
متن کاملIdentification of Malassezia Species in Patients with Pityriasis Versicolor Submitted to the Razi Hospital in Tehran

These fungi can produce a diverse range of diseases that the best known and most frequent of them is pityriasis versicolor, a chronic recurrent skin disease occurring primarily in tropical regions. The genus Malassezia has been recently enlarged to include seven disti...
متن کاملPityriasis versicolor with a unique clinical appearance.
We experienced an atypical case of pityriasis versicolor with a unique clinical appearance and undescribed mycological features. Although Malassezia sp. was cultured from the keratotic material, the fungal elements observed in the material were not readily identified as Malassezia. The diagnosis was established with the aid of immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies with the aetiologica...
متن کاملidentification of malassezia species isolated from patients with pityriasis versicolor using pcr-rflp method in markazi province, central iran.
the lipophilic yeasts of malassezia species are members of the normal skin microbial that are cause of pityriasis versicolor. pityriasis versicolor is a common superficial fungal infection with world-wide distribution. the phenotypic methods for identification of malassezia species usually are time consuming and unreliable to differentiate newly identified species. but dna-based techniques rapi...
