Our results support the proposal that the hyphal form ofMalassezia could be one of the pathogenic factors that contribute to SD, which has been previously less well studied. This clinical observation paves the way for further investigations of the molecular mechanisms ofMalassezia hyphal pathogenicity in SD.
