ABSTRACT

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) consists of several clinical syndrome characterized by chronic, treatment-resistant, superficial candidal infections of skin, nails and oropharynx. The patients with CMC usually have other manifestations including non-candidal infections, endocrinopathies and autoimmune diseases. These findings suggest that patients with CMC have multiple or complex abnormalities in their immune systems, especially of cell mediated immunity. The scrofuloderma or scrofuloderma-like BCGitis is used to describe the skin reaction and enlargement of regional lymph node with suppuration. In contrast to chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, BCGitis does not suggest underlying host immune defect in most cases. In our knowledge, there is no report about scrofuloderma-like BCGitis and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis occurring in the same patient. Herein, we report a case of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis associated with scrofuloderma-like BCGitis.
