Table 2.

Malassezia load from lesional area and non-lesional area

cfu/inch2 Colony count Lesional area (n=44) Non-lesional area (n=20)
1-10 + 9 13
11-40 ++ 23 6
41-100 +++ 4 0
>100 ++++ 8 1

(1–10 cfu/inch2 = +; 11–40 cfu/inch2 = ++; 41–100 cfu/inch2 = +++; and 100 cfu/inch2= ++++). Malassezia count was significantly higher in lesional area
