Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis
Key Points
Inheritance of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is autosomal dominant or recessive. Patients with the recessive form can have autoimmune (including endocrine) manifestations. Diagnose the disorder by confirming mucocutaneous candidiasis and excluding other causes. Treat candidiasis with antifungal drugs (using a systemic drug if needed), and treat autoimmune manifestations.
