Description
Summary:Oral candidiasis is common among patients with Sjögren's syndrome. For the first time we report on a 60-year-old female patient, who developed a non-familiar chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis of later life. She presented with the following symptoms: oral candidiasis and glossitis, angulus infectious, vulvovaginitis, lichen planus-like onychodystrophy of the finger-nails and chronic nail bed inflammation of the nails of the big toes. The knowledge of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is of prognostic and therapeutic relevance, since topical treatment often fails.
