Malassezia folliculitis or pityrosporum folliculitis, [1] is a skin condition caused by infection by Malassezia (formerly Pityrosporum) yeast. [2]: 314 The skin of the upper trunk area including the back, chest, arms and sometimes the neck is often affected and this condition is often seen in young to middle aged adults, although it has been known to occur in adults well into their sixties ...
Malassezia pachydermatis is a bottle-shaped, [2] non-lipid dependent lipophilic yeast in the genus Malassezia. [5] Colonies are cream or yellowish in colour, smooth to wrinkled and convex with a margin possessing a slightly lobed appearance. [5] [8] Cells are ovoidal in shape and range in size from 3.0–6.5 x 2.5 μm. [5]
The Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai conducts research studies and provides care to children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Seaver Autism Center works to understand the biological causes of ASD and to develop treatments, as well as provide education and training ...
Malassezia is a genus of fungi (specifically, a yeast). Some species of Malassezia are found on the skin of animals, including humans. Because malassezia requires fat to grow, [ 3 ] it is most common in areas with many sebaceous glands —on the scalp, [ 4 ] face, and upper part of the body.
Malassezia globosa, Malassezia furfur Tinea versicolor (also pityriasis versicolor ) is a condition characterized by a skin eruption on the trunk and proximal extremities. [ 1 ] The majority of tinea versicolor is caused by the fungus Malassezia globosa , although Malassezia furfur is responsible for a small number of cases.
Malassezia furfur (formerly known as Pityrosporum ovale) is a species of yeast (a type of fungus) that is naturally found on the skin surfaces of humans and some other mammals. It is associated with a variety of dermatological conditions caused by fungal infections , notably seborrhoeic dermatitis and tinea versicolor .
Furthermore, the presence of autism can make it harder to diagnose coexisting psychiatric disorders such as depression. [9] Diagnosing will be much harder in adults, since most people with ASD who reach adulthood undiagnosed, learn diverse (and often intense) masking techniques which make external diagnosis almost impossible.
As diagnosis is increasingly being given to people with higher functioning autism, there is a tendency for the proportion with comorbid intellectual disability to decrease over time. In a 2019 study, it was estimated that approximately 30–40% of people diagnosed with ASD also have intellectual disability. [ 265 ]
