Abstract: | The prevalence ofM. furfur, a lipodependent fungus, in the skin of 0 to 15-year-old healthy children was studied. Sterilized carpet was used to collect skin samples which were cultured in Oxgall medium (Difco) with 1% olive oil and incubated for 10 days at 37 °C.M. furfur was recovered in 17.8% of infants, with similar findings in both sexes. The highest prevalence ofM. furfur colonization was found among children of 0 to 18 months and 11 to 15-year-olds, with 23.3% and 26.7% respectively.Part of the Ms. thesis of Victor Silva Associação deMalassezia furfur com patologias com componente seborréico . |
