AB  - This  chapter  reviews  the  spectrum  of  cutaneous  yeast  infections  caused  by  Candida  and  Malassezia  yeasts,  both  of  which  are  frequent  commensal  organisms  on  human  hosts.  Candida  behaves  as  an  opportunistic  pathogen,  producing  fairly  characteristic  patterns  of  inflammatory  skin,  mucosal,  and  nail  infection,  with  the  potential  to  produce  invasive  and  sometimes  life-threatening  disseminated  disease.  Malassezia,  by  contrast,  produces  several  superficial  cutaneous  patterns  is  rarely  a  culprit  in  systemic  disease.
