Malassezia Furfur folliculitis of the vulva olive oil solves the mystery
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1994Co-Authors: Paul Nyirjesy, J M Nixon, C A Jordan, Helen R BuckleyAbstract:Background In treating women with chronic fungal infections, it is important to know which organism is responsible for the infection. In the past, organisms thought to cause vaginitis and vulvitis could all be cultured on modified Sabouraud agar. Case We describe a case of a woman whose chronic fungal vulvar folliculitis masqueraded as squamous epithelial hyperplasia. The 46-year-old woman, taking immunosuppressive therapy for rheumatoid arthritis, was referred with an 8-month history of vulvar vesicles, itching, and burning. Her examination revealed a vulvar folliculitis. When fungal cultures were initially negative, a vulvar biopsy revealed a squamous epithelial hyperplasia. However, a fungal culture covered with sterile olive oil eventually grew Malassezia Furfur, a yeast with peculiar growth requirements. She was cured with a 2-week course of fluconazole. Conclusion Malassezia Furfur, an organism rarely described in the vaginitis literature, can cause vulvar folliculitis in a patient on immunosuppressive therapy.

Adhesion of Percutaneously Inserted Silastic Central Venous Lines to the Vein Wall Associated With Malassezia Furfur Infection
JPEN. Journal of parenteral and enteral nutrition, 1993Co-Authors: Eun H. Kim, Ronald S. Cohen, Pramela Ramachandran, Gregory F. GlasscockAbstract:Percutaneously inserted Silastic central venous catheters have been used for prolonged infusion of parenteral nutrition in neonates. Malassezia Furfur infection has been associated with intravenous fat emulsions infused through central venous lines. In this paper, we report two premature infants whose Silastic catheters were adhered to the vein wall with associated M Furfur infection.
