Dermatite séborrhéique («eczéma» séborrhéique). Cette dermatose très fréquente n'a pas d'étiopathogénie univoque : on incrimine la colonisation par une levure saprophyte (Malassezia furfur) des zones séborrhéiques. Cependant, la gravité de la dermatite séborrhéique (DS) n'est pas toujours corrélée avec la densité cutanée de cette levure. Un état levurique pelliculaire du scalp (pityriasis capitis) est fréquemment associé. 2, record 1, French, - dermatite%20s%C3%A9borrh%C3%A9ique
