ABSTRACT

Background: Seborrheic dermatitis and the presence of Malassezia are frequently observed in immunocompromised patients. No relation- descamaship has been established between the two events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Objetive: To determine whether a relationship exists between Malassezia and seborrheic dermatitis in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to identify the frequency of the presence of yeast and dermatitis in these patients.
Material and Method: An open, prospective, observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was done in volunteer subjects who participated in the 22nd National Stroke Patient with Diabetes in Mexico City on October 18, 2014; a clinical search for seborrheic dermatitis and investigation of Malassezia by a Gram-stained smears of skin was done. The relationship between them was determined with χ2 test.
Results: 118 patients were included, 84 had seborrheic dermatitis (72%), and 49 (42%) Malassezia. There was no statistical relationship between the two groups.
Conclusion: In patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 frequency of seborrheic dermatitis was high, but the presence of Malassezia was not. There is not statistically significant between both.
