| | Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis |
 | | Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is the label given to a group of overlapping syndromes that have in common a clinical pattern of persistent, severe, and diffuse cutaneous candidal infections. |
 | | The clinical signs, symptoms, and manifestations of CMC are initially similar to those for the familiar forms of mucocutaneous candidal infection (e.g., oropharyngeal candidiasis, esophageal candidiasis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, perianal candidiasis, or candidal onychomycosis). |
 | | This form of CMC begins during the third decade and has been associated with myasthenia gravis, hypogammaglobulinemia, red cell aplasia, aplastic anemia, and/or neutropenia [795, 1128, 1178, 1183, 1536, 1680]. |
