SD severity was assessed by SEDASI. Samples from lesions on scalp, face and intact chest skin were cultivated and\/or stained with methylene blue or cotton and inoculated onto Malassezia Leeming &amp; Notman Agar Modified (MLNA). \nResults: A statistical difference in colonization intensity between all body zones (Dwass-Steel-Critchlow-Flinger pairwise comparisons p\u22640,001). Face zone with lesions of SD patients was two times more colonized with funguses than in the control group (38,5 vs 16,5 p=0,003). The sternal area with no skin lesions was more colonized in the SD group (25,0 vs 9,0 p=0,013). The SEDASI was positively correlated with the amount of CFU on the face (Spearman\u2019s rho 0,849; p\u22640,001) and trunk (0,714; p\u22640,001). \nConclusions: Our results demonstrate that inflamed seborrheic areas are more colonized with Malassezia fungi than intact areas. The intensity of Malassezia growth is correlated with the severity of the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis. The level of colonization may be a potential biomarker to indicate the efficiency of new treatment approaches<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.36740\/wlek202306107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,19]],"date-time":"2023-07-19T12:18:11Z","timestamp":1689769091000},"page":"1371-1377","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["MALASSEZIA COLONIZATION CORRELATES WITH THE SEVERITY OF SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS"],"prefix":"10.36740","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Vlasta","family":"Vysochanska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UZHHGOROD NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, UZHHGOROD, UKRAINE"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Galina","family":"Koval","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UZHHGOROD NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, UZHHGOROD, UKRAINE"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"22436","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"1.
