Identification of Malassezia Species in Patients with Pityriasis Versicolor Submitted to the Razi Hospital in Tehran
Lipophilic yeast of the genus Malassezia (Pityrosporum) belongs to the normal flora of human skin and many warm-blooded animals. 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 کاملتعیین گونه مالاسزیاهای جدا شده از بیماران مبتلا به پیتیر یازیس ورسیکالر و درماتیت سبوروئیک، با روش PCR-RFLP
Background and Purpose: Lipophilic yeast of the genus Malassezia are members of normal human cutaneous micro flora which are also associated with several skin diseases. It is strongly suspected that Malassezia species are responsible for pityriasis versicolor (PV), and seborrhoeic dermatitis (SD). Considering various sensitivities among Malassezia species to antifungal, accurate species identif...
متن کاملThe current status of Pythium species in Iran: challenges in taxonomy
Pythium species are cosmopolitan, fungus-like oomycotes which may cause diseases in plants, animals and even human beings. Some of the species, however, are saprophytes and also well-proven biological control agents of plant pathogenic fungi. Since 1968, when the first Pythium species was reported from Iran, ca 44 species, two varieties, and five groups of this genus have been reported from dif...
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 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...
