- Abstract
Background Previous studies of quantitative determinations of Pityrosporun ovale in HIV-seropositive patients with and without seborrhoeic dermatitis are contradictory. Objective To investigate the number of P. ovale among HIV-seronegative and HIV-seropositive men using contact plates containing cow's milk as the main lipid source and to analyse sera with ELISA for lgG antibodies to a P. ovale protein extract. Results There was no difference in the number of P. ovale between healthy controls and HIV-positive patients with and without seborrhoeic dermatitis. HIV-seropositive patients had significantly lower IgG antibody titres to a P. ovale protein extract compared with healthy individuals.
