Resumen:
Malassezia spp. is a lipophilic yeast considered to be a normal component of the human skin flora. It has been associated with sepsis in patients receiving intravenous infusion of lipid emulsions through central venous catheters (CVC). Current evidence indicates a high rate of skin colonization in healthy adults, in contrast with the low rate of colonization in prepubertal children. Of note is the high prevalence of colonized infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
