Article Synopsis
- - Psoriasis is a skin disorder characterized by red, scaly patches, and while the exact role of Malassezia yeasts in its development is unclear, they may trigger worsening of skin lesions.
- - A study compared the presence of Malassezia species in 110 psoriasis patients with 123 healthy controls, finding that psoriasis patients had lower recovery rates of these yeasts overall, but higher colonization rates of certain species like M. furfur.
- - M. furfur's higher lipase activity could lead to increased inflammation and skin cell overgrowth in psoriasis, suggesting it may play a significant role in worsening the condition.
