Background: Cutaneous cytological investigation is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of superficial bacterial folliculitis (SBF).

Department of Infectious Diseases, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
Article Synopsis
- - Malassezia species are fungi that thrive on lipids, form part of normal skin microbiota, and can cause skin infections like folliculitis, as well as rare invasive infections in vulnerable populations like neonates and immunocompromised patients.
- - Unlike many other invasive fungal infections, factors like low white blood cell counts and broad-spectrum antibiotics do not increase the risk of invasive Malassezia infections, which often manifest as bloodstream infections associated with catheters.
- - Diagnosis involves identifying the fungi in biopsy samples or cultures, with a generally positive outlook for treatment; however, comprehensive treatment guidelines are lacking, and management often requires catheter removal and antifungal therapy.
