Pityriasis (tinea) versicolor is a common disorder of adults. We cared for five infants (four males and one female) with the disease. Diagnosis was confirmed by potassium hydroxide preparation demonstrating the filaments of Malassezia furfur and/or Pityrosporum orbiculare, the yeast form. Three patients had lesions in the neonatal period. The mother of one baby had pityriasis versicolor. Two patients were siblings. One baby had associated atopic dermatitis and two had a positive family history of atopy.
