A laboratory-based study on patients with Parkinson’s disease and seborrheic dermatitis: the presence and density of Malassezia yeasts, their different species and enzymes production

Abstract: BackgroundSeborrheic dermatitis (SD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are frequently associated conditions. Aims of this study were: to determine severity of SD, presence of different species and density of Malassezia yeasts; to assess yeast lipases and phosphatases production in vitro and to compare these results between SD patients with and without PD.MethodsThis case–control prospective study was conducted at the Dermatology and Neurology Units, Clinical Centre of Serbia and at the National Medical Mycology Ref… Show more

“…The increased production of host sebum as well as the presence and increased reproduction of Malassezia yeasts are the two major factors believed to contribute to the development of SD 4,8. Seborrhea has been associated with PD, with a prevalence as high as 52%–59% 8.…”

“…Seborrhea has been associated with PD, with a prevalence as high as 52%–59% 8. In 1927, Krestin reported seborrheic facies as a cutaneous manifestation of parkinsonism, particularly in post-encephalic parkinsonism,9 and described the skin as shiny, greasy, and with characteristic scarring acne.…”
