A Cutaneous Manifestation of Systemic Candidiasis

Abstract

Two patients with leukemia developed a disseminated, maculonodular rash as a manifestation of systemic candidiasis. Histological sections of these lesions from both patients showed subepidermal pseudohyphae, and Candida was cultured from one of these lesions. Recognition of such lesions may be helpful in making an early and appropriate diagnosis.
