abstract="  Introduction:  Fungi belonging to the Malassezia genus may contribute to the indigenous skin flora. However, they may cause numerous skin diseases.   Aim:  The objective of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of the yeast-like Malassezia fungi in materials originating from patients suspected of superficial mycosis and referred to the Department of Mycology at the Jagiellonian University Medical College Chair of Microbiology during a 16-year period from January 1, 1992 to December 31, 2007.   Material and methods:  A total of 12321 clinical specimens were examined; fungi were detected in 5654 of them.   Results:  The fungi were more often isolated from males than from females (49.8 vs. 42.9%). Malassezia fungi were isolated in 771 cases, more often from males (59.4%) than females (40.6%). The fungi were most frequently isolated from the scalp, trunk and face. Malassezia co-existed with other fungi only sporadically.   Conclusions:  The retrospective 16-year analysis provided evidence that increases and decreases in the prevalence of Malassezia occurred in particular years.",
