Pityriasis versicolor (PV) is a disease with worldwide distribution. Twelve different species of Malassezia yeast have been described. The objective of this study was to determine which species of Malassezia are more prevalent in patients with pityriasis versicolor. Samples were collected by scraping the lesions of 87 patients with a clinical suspicion of pityriasis versicolor. The samples were then submitted to fungal microscopy and culture to identify the species. The species found were: Malassezia sympodialis (30%), Malassezia furfur (25.7%), Malassezia globosa (22.7%), Malassezia restricta (12.1%), Malassezia obtusa (7.6%) and Malassezia slooffiae (1.5%).
花斑糠疹(PV)是一种全球分布的疾病。已描述了12种不同的马拉色菌酵母菌种。本研究的目的是确定哪些马拉色菌菌种在花斑糠疹患者中更为常见。通过刮取87例临床怀疑为花斑糠疹患者的皮损来采集样本。然后将样本进行真菌显微镜检查和培养以鉴定菌种。所发现的菌种有:合轴马拉色菌(30%)、糠秕马拉色菌(25.7%)、球形马拉色菌(22.7%)、限制马拉色菌(12.1%)、钝形马拉色菌(7.6%)和斯洛菲马拉色菌(1.5%)。
