Abstract:
In this paper, we report that pityrosporum o biculare or/and pityrosporum ovale were cultivated from dandruff of 57 patients with seborrheic dermatitis. The posi-tivity rate was 94.7% in our series.The colony grows slowly and appears cream colour, yeastlike and oleophilic. It did not engender hyphae in Rice-Tween 80 medium and did not produce germ tubes in scrum culture. It could not grow and could not utilize carbohydrate in CHO assimilation test and was neither acidogenic nor aerogenous in fermentation test
