Abstract
- Neonatal Malassezia pustulosis can be defined as pustules on face and neck, age at onset, younger than 1 month, isolation of Malassezia by direct microscopy in pustular material, elimination of other causes of neonatal pustuloses, and response to topical ketoconazole therapy. We report a case of neonatal Malassezia pustulosis in a 20-day-old male. Direct microscopic examination on smears for pustules showed forms of Malassezia yeasts and culture yielded Malassezia sympodialis. The lesions were remarkably improved by topical ketoconazole cream for 14 days.
