    H Ruth Ashbee
    Mycology Reference Centre, Division of Microbiology, University of Leeds and Leeds General Infirmary, Leeds, United Kingdom
    Clin Microbiol Rev 15:21-57. 2002
    ..Defining the nonspecific immune response to Malassezia species and the way in which the organisms modulate it may well be the key to understanding how Malassezia species can exist as both commensals and pathogens...

    Helen Ruth Ashbee
    Skin Research Centre, Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK
    FEMS Immunol Med Microbiol 47:14-23. 2006
    ..Future research may define ways to influence this inflammatory cycle and hence to control or prevent exacerbations of these diseases...

    Mycology Reference Centre, Department of Microbiology, Old Medical School, Leeds General Infirmary, Leeds LS1 3EX, UK
    Med Mycol 46:57-65. 2008
    ..The observation of autochthonous cases of disease suggests that the endemic area of histoplasmosis is wider than classically reported and supports continued surveillance of the disease throughout Europe...
  5. ncbi Testing of antifungal combinations against yeasts and dermatophytes
    S Harman
    Mycology Reference Centre, Division of Microbiology, University of Leeds and General Infirmary, Leeds, UK
    J Dermatolog Treat 15:104-7. 2004
    ..CONCLUSIONS: Some combinations of drugs may have synergistic activity in vitro; however, the importance of this in a clinical setting is yet to be established, and more studies are justified...
  6. ncbi An investigation into the pathogenesis of vulvo-vaginal candidosis
    S S El-Din
    Mycology Reference Centre, University of Leeds and General Infirmary, Leeds, UK
    Sex Transm Infect 77:179-83. 2001
    ..CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support the theory of vaginal relapse and thus may support the use of more prolonged courses of antifungal therapy initially to increase the chances of eradication of the yeast...
