Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis: case report
Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is characterized by infections caused by Candida sp, usually Candida albicans, which may be persistent or recurrent on skin, mucous membranes and nails; generally confined on the cutaneous surface and occasionally systemic dissemination. This can be associated to endocrinopathies and autoimmunity. We report a case of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis with liver disease secondary to treatments with fluconazole, with positive response to topical treatments of itraconazole and others, as well as immunostimulation.
