Abstract



Malassezia yeast is a member of the normal flora on human skin predominantly in sebum-rich regions. It is associated with several cutaneous diseases such as pityriasis versicolor, pityrosporum folliculitis and seborrheic dermatitis. Recently Malassezia yeast has increasingly been recognized as a cause of fungemia in premature neonates and adults receiving intravenous lipid. As a consequence, familiarity with Malassezia yeast is now necessary. This paper will briefly review the taxonomic history of Malassezia yeast, age-related change and body-site variation in its distribution and methodologies used.
