  2. 1. Malassezia-related diseases

    Author : Aditya Gupta; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Malassezia; dermatoses; yeasts; pityriasis versicolor; atopic dermatitis; seborrheic dermatitis; psoriasis;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether the new taxonomy of Malassezia may have important clinical implications. In particular, the studies look at pityriasis versicolor and other dermatological disorders associated with Malassezia yeasts to see whether there is a clear association between the yeast species and body site colonized and/or disease state.

  4. 2. Atopic dermatitis in adults: prognosis and factors of importance for persistence

    Author : Mari Helen Sandström Falk; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atopic dermatitis; adults; prognosis; prognostic factors; Malassezia; atopu patch test; skin prick test; IgE; prevalence; severity; locations;

    Abstract : Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease with multifactorial aetiology. Elevatedlevels of serum IgE are common in AD patients and IgE antibodies to the yeast Malassezia, amember of the cutaneous microflora, are also common. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies on colonization and infection with Staphylococcus aureus and other microbes in skin disease

    Author : Mikael Alsterholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; balanoposthitis; microbes; Staphylococcus aureus; Candida; Malassezia; fusidic acid; fusidic acid-resistant S. aureus; impetigo; atopic dermatitis; azoles; clioquinol; halquinol; hydrogen peroxide; skin infection;

    Abstract : The skin is colonized with a wide range of microbes. Some offer vital protection from colonization and infection with pathogenic strains while others have the capacity to cause or exacerbate disease. READ MORE

  6. 4. Structural and functional studies of Malassezia sympodialis-derived allergens

    Author : Monica Vilhelmsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Atopic eczema (AE) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterised by pruritic (itchy) skin lesions. The pathogenic mechanisms underlying AE are still unclear, although several factors such as genetic predisposition, a dysfunctional skin barrier, exposure to environmental allergens and skin colonisation with microorganisms appear to be of importance.

  7. 5. The role of Malassezia in the pathogenesis of atopic eczema/dermatitis syndrome

    Author : Catharina Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Atopic dermatitis; atopic eczema dermatitis syndrome; Malassezia; Pityrosporum; T-cells; PBMC proliferation; cytokines; ELISPOT; TCRVB; IgE; skin prick test; atopy patch test;

    Abstract : Atopic eczema/dermatitis syndrome (AEDS) is a chronically relapsing skin disease, which is often associated with elevated levels of serum lgE. The immunopathology of AEDS is at present unclear, but it is known that lymphocytes infiltrating the AEDS lesions are predominantly of the CD4+ T helper phenotype. READ MORE
