This study analyzed the difference in<jats:italic>Malassezia<\/jats:italic>spp. distribution in lesional and nonlesional skin in Chinese PV patients. A paired design was applied. Lesional and nonlesional scales from 24 cases were collected; real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect 10 different<jats:italic>Malassezia<\/jats:italic>spp. In lesional skin, the highest detection rates were for<jats:italic>M. globosa<\/jats:italic>(95.8%),<jats:italic>M. restricta<\/jats:italic>(91.7%), and<jats:italic>M. sympodialis<\/jats:italic>(50.0%).
