| Summary: | Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disease that often occurs in
infancy and children. Skin barrier defect in atopic dermatitis causes the skin of
AD’s patient susceptible to bacterial, fungal and viral cutaneuous infection.
Malassezia can induce the immune system, thereby reducing the number of
Malassezia colonization on the skin thus improving atopic dermatitis.
Purpose: To compare Malassezia colonization of children with atopic dermatitis
and non atopic children in Dermato-venereology outpatient clinic in dr. Soetomo
general hospital Surabaya.
Methods: This is an analitic observational study, with 25 atopic dermatitis and 25
non-atopic children(controls) that qualify inclusion and exclusion criteria. Skin
specimens were obtained by skin scraping and then planted in the culture medium
of ChromAgar Malassezia
Results: Positive culture of Malassezia in atopic dermatitis group was fewer than
the control group, while the average number colony of Malassezia sp.in atopic
dermatitis was higher than the control group. High temperature and humidity in
Indonesia led to Malassezia proliferation and transformation into patogen form.
Conclusions: The average number colony of Malassezia sp. was higher on atopic
dermatitis patient than control group in this study. This results differ with
previous study can be possible due to the difference of using culture medium and
methods of skin specimen collection, as well as the influence of tropical climate
that occurred in Indonesia |
