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

Conclusion: From this laboratory-based study a positive correlation between SD, PD, M. globosa incidence, high yeast density and high phosphatase and lipase activity was established. Our data lead to conclusion that local skin performance of PD patient’s characterized with increased sebum excretion ratio play a role in SD by stimulation of yeasts replication and enzyme production.
