Study of Hypersensitivity to Malassezia furfur in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis with Head and Neck Pattern: Is It Useful as a Biomarker and Therapeutic Indicator in These Patients? [PDF]

Life, 2022
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory diseases. Head and neck (H&N) involvement, also known as the picture-frame pattern, can be a diagnostic and even therapeutic challenge. Sensitization to the fungus Malassezia furfur

The underestimated role of major skin commensal Malassezia furfur in the development of neonatal invasive fungal infections [PDF]

Heliyon
In recent years, some new evidence on the role of Malassezia in late-onset sepsis in immunocompromised patients have been published, but there are still very few studies with special focus on newborns.The prevalence of Malassezia-associated conditions in
