title: Treatment of Malassezia species associated seborrheic blepharitis with fluconazole.
abstract: The AIM of the present study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of fluconazole (FungoIon) in patients with seborrheic blepharitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Four seborrheic blepharitis patients with Malassezia spp. positive cultures on Dixon's agar were treated with fluconazole (Fungolon) (0.200) weekly for 4 weeks.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The therapeutic effect of the treatment was positive in all patients--the clinical symptoms withdrew and cultures became mycologically negative.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results indicate that antifungal agents are efficient in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.
