Seborrheic dermatitis among Oxford renal transplant recipients1

Abstract: Seborrheic dermatitis is more common than other inflammatory dermatoses in immunosuppressed RTRs, but is not as frequent as in those immunosuppressed secondary to HIV. Degree and duration of exposure to immunosuppression and increased colonization with Malassezia yeast genus are likely be important in the aetiology of Seborrheic dermatitis in RTRs. Further studies are required to clarify this.

“…The inflammatory dermatoses atopic dermatitis (4/308, 1.3%) and psoriasis (5/308, 1.6%) were rare in contrast with seborrhoeic dermatitis which was seen in almost 10% (29/308) 12 of RTRs examined in this study.…”

“…61 The possibility that Malassezia might locally modify the immune response, coupled with host susceptibility, may represent another explanation for the development of a clinical condition. 62 Arsic Arsenijevic et al 58 and Lee et al 63 reported high rates of recovery of Malassezia yeasts, at 87% and 85%, respectively. However, a study conducted in southern Iran reported a very low rate of recovery from SD patients of 24.5%, probably because the climate in the region is very dry.…”
