Malassezia sympodialis is a fungus which can cause opportunistic infections in animals, such as atopic eczema and granulomatous dermatitis.[1][2][3][4] It was isolated from the auditory tract of a man and from the scalp of an AIDS patient suffering from tinea capitis. It is characterized by a pronounced lipophily, unilateral, percurrent or sympodial budding and an irregular, corrugated cell wall ultrastructure.
