The aim of our study was to analyse the prevalence of <jats:italic>Malassezia<\/jats:italic> species in PV lesions and to examine if the range of species varies with patient sex, age, direct microscopy findings and some clinical data. Ninety patients with PV completed the study. The samples were obtained by scraping the skin surface, both from lesional and non\u2010lesional skin and then incubated on Sabouraud dextrose agar and modified Dixon agar. The yeast isolated were identified according to their macroscopic and microscoipic features and physiological characteristics. In PV lesions, the most common species was <jats:italic>M.\u00a0globosa<\/jats:italic> (63%), followed by <jats:italic>M.\u00a0sympodialis<\/jats:italic> (14%), <jats:italic>M.\u00a0furfur<\/jats:italic> (10%), <jats:italic>M.\u00a0obtusa<\/jats:italic> (8%) and <jats:italic>M.\u00a0slooffiae<\/jats:italic> (4%). The most frequently isolated species from clinically healthy skin were <jats:italic>M.\u00a0globosa<\/jats:italic> (49%), <jats:italic>M.\u00a0sympodialis<\/jats:italic> (37%) and <jats:italic>M.\u00a0furfur<\/jats:italic> (5%). We found significant difference in the distribution of <jats:italic>Malassezia<\/jats:italic> species between lesional and non\u2010lesional skin and in the distribution of <jats:italic>Malassezia<\/jats:italic> species according to the direct microscopy findings. <jats:italic>M.\u00a0globosa<\/jats:italic> in its mycelial phase is the predominant species involved in the aetiology of PV.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0507.2006.01310.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,13]],"date-time":"2006-12-13T15:01:07Z","timestamp":1166022067000},"page":"58-63","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["<i>Malassezia<\/i> species isolated from lesional and non\u2010lesional skin in patients with pityriasis versicolor"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Asja","family":"Prohic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ladislav","family":"Ozegovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/mmy.38.s1.9.16"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","first-page":"220","article-title":"The role of Malassezia species in the ecology of human skin and as pathogens","volume":"36","author":"Gueho E","year":"1998","journal-title":"Med Mycol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.5.2.101"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","first-page":"201","volume-title":"Topley and Wilson's Microbiology and Microbial Infections, Vol. 4.
