Candida and Malassezia as nursery pathogens
Semin Dermatol.

Abstract
Candida and Malassezia can be both normal flora and pathogens in the nursery. Very low-birth-weight infants are at high risk for systemic infection from these organisms. We review the microbiology and clinical manifestations of disease within the neonatal nursery.
