Colonization of Malassezia Species on Healthy Skin of Preschool Children
Malassezia yeast forms part of the normal skin on man and other vertebrates. Recent descriptions of new species have stimulated interest in their study in diverse countries; it is important to conduct further research to collect epidemiological data about the species in tropical countries such as Ve...
