Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the characteristics of pityriasis versicolor (PV) in Tunisia, focusing on the prevalence and identification of Malassezia species in patients.
- A total of 120 PV patients were analyzed, revealing that young adults were most affected, predominantly on the back and neck, with a significant portion experiencing itching and recurrence.
- The most commonly isolated species were M. furfur and M. globosa, with a high concordance between phenotypic and molecular identification methods, highlighting the diagnostic importance of both approaches despite variations in regional species distribution.

The diagnosis was supported by histopathologic (ie, yeastlike cells, filamentous structures) and mycologic findings from a cutaneous biopsy.
