Summary A total of 180 HIV‐positive patients were assessed for seborrhoeic dermatitis (SD) and colonization with Malassezia species. Diseased skin of patients with seborrhoeic dermatitis were sampled selectively for Malassezia . In patients without SD, uninvolved skin was sampled. The prevalence of SD was 19%. Of the 34 SD patients, 16 were positive for Malassezia . Of the 146 patients without SD, only 27 were culture positive for Malassezia . Analysis of the largest HIV‐positive patient population studied thus far yielded only a weak correlation between SD and Malassezia colonization.
