Sensitization with Malassezia yeast

Sensitization with Malassezia yeasts means that the patient has specific IgE antibodies against Malassezia yeasts present in their blood. These are yeasts that can be normally present on the skin. In certain cases, however, they can also cause problems (e.g. seborrheic dermatitis and Pityriasis versicolor).
