Popis: Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis represents a therapeutic challenge in view of the underlying immunological defects and recurrent infections due to Candida albicans. We report a patient with recurrent Candida infections of skin, nails and mucosa, with underlying immunological defects, autoimmune thyroiditis and ketoconazole-induced hepatitis. The patient was successfully treated by a administration of GM-CSF.
