A clinical syndrome characterized by development, usually in infancy or childhood, of a chronic, often widespread candidiasis of skin, nails, and mucous membranes. It may be secondary to one of the immunodeficiency syndromes, inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, or associated with defects in cell-mediated immunity, endocrine disorders, dental stomatitis, or malignancy.
Candidiasis of the skin manifested as eczema-like lesions of the interdigital spaces, perleche, or chronic paronychia. (Dorland, 27th ed)
Autoimmune diseases affecting multiple endocrine organs. Type I is characterized by childhood onset and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CANDIDIASIS, CHRONIC MUCOCUTANEOUS), while type II exhibits any combination of adrenal insufficiency (ADDISON'S DISEASE), lymphocytic thyroiditis (THYROIDITIS, AUTOIMMUNE;), HYPOPARATHYROIDISM; and gonadal failure. In both types organ-specific ANTIBODIES against a variety of ENDOCRINE GLANDS have been detected. The type II syndrome differs from type I in that it is associated with HLA-A1 and B8 haplotypes, onset is usually in adulthood, and candidiasis is not present.
Infection with a fungus of the genus CANDIDA. It is usually a superficial infection of the moist areas of the body and is generally caused by CANDIDA ALBICANS. (Dorland, 27th ed)
A unicellular budding fungus which is the principal pathogenic species causing CANDIDIASIS (moniliasis).

Characterization of the cellular immune function of patients with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. (1/47)

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is a rare syndrome characterized by persistent and refractory infections of the skin, nails and mucosal tissues by yeasts of the genus Candida. Defects in the cellular limb of the immune system are well documented in CMC patients, but non-specific immune defects, such as myeloperoxidase deficiency or phagocyte chemotaxis disorders, have also been described. Nonetheless, the underlying defect(s) remains poorly understood, and further studies are required. We studied eight CMC patients without endocrinopathies, who showed (i) low normal proliferative response to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), (ii) partially defective response to pokeweed mitogen (PWM), and (iii) impaired response to Candida and PPD antigens. Furthermore, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from CMC patients produced lower levels of type-1 cytokines (IL-2 and interferon-gamma) in response to Candida antigens, compared with control individuals. Conversely, we did not observe an enhancement of IL-4 and IL-10 in the patients, suggesting that, even though Th1 cytokines are decreased, the Th2 response is not increased in CMC. Nevertheless, the synthesis of these cytokines was normal when induced by PHA. We also observed an increased antigen-induced apoptosis in lymphocytes from the patients compared with controls, and this applied both to Candida and PPD antigens. Lastly, innate immunity defects were investigated. We observed an impairment of natural killer activity against K-562 target cells in half of the studied patients. These findings corroborate the extensive clinical and laboratory variability of CMC, which requires further studies on a larger number of patients to be better understood.  (+info)

An immune defect causing dominant chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis and thyroid disease maps to chromosome 2p in a single family. (2/47)

We describe a large family in which a combination of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (fungal infections of the skin, nails, and mucous membranes) and thyroid disease segregate as an autosomal dominant trait with reduced penetrance. The family includes (a) four members with both candidiasis and thyroid disease, (b) five members, including one pair of phenotype-concordant MZ twins, with candidiasis only, and (c) three members with thyroid disease only. A whole-genome scan using DNA samples from 20 members of the family identified a candidate linkage region on chromosome 2p. By sampling additional individuals and genotyping supplementary markers, we established linkage to a region of approximately 15 cM bounded by D2S367 and D2S2240 and including seven adjacent markers consistent with linkage. With a penetrance estimate of.8, which was based on pedigree and affected status, the peak two-point LOD score was 3.70 with marker D2S2328, and the peak three-point LOD score was 3.82. This is the first linkage assignment of a dominant locus for mucocutaneous candidiasis.  (+info)

Efficacy of ravuconazole in treatment of mucosal candidosis in SCID mice. (3/47)

A model of orogastric candidosis in SCID mice, which mimics disease seen in AIDS patients, was used to evaluate ravuconazole in comparison with fluconazole for treatment. Mice were infected orally with Candida albicans and received either no treatment or oral treatment once daily for 12 days with 1, 5, or 25 mg of ravuconazole per kg of body weight per day, 5 or 25 mg of fluconazole per kg per day, or diluent (10% dimethyl sulfoxide in 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose). The numbers of C. albicans CFU in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and cecum on day 25 in mice given no treatment and diluent were equivalent. Both doses of fluconazole significantly reduced numbers of CFU in all four tissues but were equivalent to each other. Ravuconazole showed dose-responsive improvement of clearance of CFU. Ravuconazole at 25 mg/kg was superior in reduction of numbers of CFU in all tissues to controls or 25 mg of fluconazole per kg and to other regimens in at least three tissues. Fluconazole at 25 mg/kg cured no infection in any tissue, whereas 25 mg of ravuconazole/kg cleared infection in all tissues from 50% of mice. Ravuconazole has good efficacy and the potential to cure mucosal candidosis in the absence of a functional immune response.  (+info)

Early membrane exposure of phosphatidylserine followed by late necrosis in murine macrophages induced by Candida albicans from an HIV-infected individual. (4/47)

The hypothesis that Candida albicans isolate (CR1) from an HIV-infected individual induced apoptosis of macrophages was examined by optical microscopy, binding of annexin V-FITC and analyses of DNA degradation (TUNEL tests and agarose gel electrophoresis). Resident murine peritoneal macrophages co-incubated for 5-15 min with C. albicans CR1 bound annexin V, whereas macrophages incubated with either heat-inactivated strain CR1, C. albicans 577 (isolated from a patient with mucocutaneous candidiasis) or C. albicans FCF14 (a mutant that did not produce proteases and phospholipases) did not bind annexin for up to 2 h of observation. However, macrophages exposed to C. albicans CR1 did not present the pattern of DNA degradation typical of apoptosis. Macrophages became increasingly permeable to propidium iodide from 30 min to 2 h after their exposure to C. albicans CR1. Most of the phagocytosed C. albicans CR1 yeast cells switched to germ-tubes inside the macrophages after incubation for 1-2 h. These results show that macrophages exposed to C. albicans CR1 presented early signs of apoptosis but progressed to necrosis, and suggest that Candida strains that readily switch to germ-tubes inside those apoptotic cells might have a competitive advantage in vivo because released germ-tubes resist further attack by macrophages.  (+info)

A gene for familial isolated chronic nail candidiasis maps to chromosome 11p12-q12.1. (5/47)

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiases (CMC) are a group of rare disorders where an altered immune response against Candida leads to persistent and/or recurrent infections of the skin, nails, and mucous membranes. We analysed a five-generation Italian family with an isolated form of CMC, affecting nails only, in the presence of low serum concentration of intercellular adhesion molecule I (ICAM-1). We excluded linkage to candidate regions on chromosomes 2p (CMC with thyroid disease), 21q22.3 (APECED), and 19q13 (ICAM-1). We then carried out a genome-wide scan and assigned the CMC locus to a 19 cM pericentromeric region on chromosome 11.  (+info)

Deregulated production of protective cytokines in response to Candida albicans infection in patients with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. (6/47)

Patients with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) are selectively unable to clear the yeast Candida, which results in persistent debilitating infections affecting the skin, nails, and mucous membranes. The underlying defect is unknown. Recent animal studies highlighted the importance of type 1 cytokines in protection against Candida, and previous work suggested that CMC patients may exhibit altered cytokine production in response to Candida. Based on these findings, in this study we investigated cytokine production in CMC patients by assessing a range of inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, type 1, and type 2 cytokines (interleukin-2 [IL-2], IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, gamma interferon [IFN-gamma], tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-alpha]) in whole-blood cultures in response to five different fractions of Candida albicans (carbohydrate, purified mannan, and protein-rich fractions, etc.), as well as non-Candida antigens. Our results demonstrate that cytokine production is deregulated in a Candida-specific way for some cytokines (IL-2, IL-10), is deregulated more generally for other cytokines (IL-12, IL-6, IFN-gamma), and is not markedly altered for still other cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-4, IL-5). The most notable finding in CMC patients was the markedly impaired production of IL-12 in parallel with dramatically increased levels of IL-6 and IL-10 that occurred selectively in response to Candida. These results suggest that patients with CMC have impaired production of type 1-inducing cytokines (possibly a macrophage or dendritic cell defect?), which could result in an inability to mount protective cell-mediated responses and a failure to clear Candida. Continued tissue damage and inflammation may trigger production of high levels of inhibitory cytokines, such as the IL-10 production seen in our study, which would further reduce production of type 1-inducing cytokines in a positive feedback loop leading to persistent infection.  (+info)

Protein carbonyl group content in patients affected by familiar chronic nail candidiasis. (7/47)

Familiar chronic nail candidiasis (FCNC) is a rare disorder characterized by early-onset infections caused by different species of Candida, restricted to the nail of the hands and feet, and associated with a low serum concentration of intercellular adhesion molecule 1. Host defense mechanisms against candidiasis require the cooperation of many immune cells through several candidacidal mechanisms, including oxygen-dependent killing mechanisms, mediated by a superoxide anion radical myeloperoxidase--H2O2--halide system, and reactive nitrogen intermediates. We analyzed protein carbonyl groups (considered a useful marker of oxidative stress) in the serum of patients belonging to a five-generation Italian family with an isolated form of FCNC. Serum protein carbonyl groups in FCNC patients were significantly lower than those measured in healthy donors. Also, if this hypothesis is merely speculative, we could suggest that the decreased circulating level of protein carbonyl groups in these patients is not a marker of a lower oxidative stress condition, but might be linked to a lower protease activity.  (+info)

Candida-specific interferon-gamma deficiency and toll-like receptor polymorphisms in patients with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. (8/47)

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is a group of disorders, characterised by persistent mucocutaneous infections with Candida species. The underlying defect of CMC has not been elucidated, but a defective cytokine response may be involved. Therefore, we investigated whether an imbalance between IFNgamma and IL-10 may play a role in this disorder. We assessed the cytokine production in whole-blood cultures from CMC patients using Candida albicans, lipopolysaccharide and phytohaemagglutinin as stimuli. As the Toll-like receptors are important pattern recognition receptors for Candida species, we also investigated Toll-like receptor polymorphisms in these patients. Patients with CMC had a significantly decreased IFNgamma production when whole blood was stimulated with C. albicans (232 +/- 120 vs 2279 +/- 609 pg/ml, p<0.02). When stimulated with phytohaemagglutinin, the differences were not significant (3549 +/- 1320 vs 7631 +/- 1790 pg/ml). The Candida-stimulated production of IL-10 tended to be higher in CMC patients, whereas TNF and IL-1beta production were similar in patients and controls. Stimulation with LPS showed no differences in cytokine production between patients and controls. Two out of seven patients had the TLR4 Asp299Gly polymorphism and none had the TLR2 Arg677Trp polymorphism. These data support the hypothesis that deficient IFNgamma production is involved in the pathogenesis of CMC, whereas a role for genetic polymorphisms of Toll-like receptor 2 and 4 is not obvious in these patients.  (+info)

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is a group of rare disorders characterized by persistent or recurrent Candida infections of the skin, nails, and mucous membranes. The infection can affect various sites such as the mouth, esophagus, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary tract.

CMC is typically caused by an impaired immune response to Candida albicans, a type of fungus that commonly exists on the skin and mucous membranes. In CMC, the immune system fails to control the growth of Candida, leading to chronic or recurrent infections.

The symptoms of CMC can vary depending on the site of infection. Common manifestations include:

* Chronic or recurrent thrush (oral candidiasis)
* Esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus)
* Chronic nail infections (onychomycosis)
* Skin lesions, such as redness, swelling, and cracks
* Genital infections, including vaginitis and balanitis (inflammation of the head of the penis)

CMC can be associated with other immune disorders, such as endocrine dysfunction, autoimmune diseases, and primary immunodeficiencies. The diagnosis of CMC is based on clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Treatment typically involves antifungal medications, such as topical or systemic azoles, echinocandins, or polyenes. In some cases, immunomodulatory therapy may be necessary to manage the underlying immune dysfunction.

Cutaneous candidiasis is a fungal infection of the skin caused by Candida species, most commonly Candida albicans. The infection can occur anywhere on the skin, but it typically affects warm, moist areas such as the armpits, groin, and fingers. The symptoms of cutaneous candidiasis include redness, itching, burning, and cracking of the skin. In severe cases, pustules or blisters may also be present.

The infection can occur in people of all ages but is more common in those with weakened immune systems, such as individuals with HIV/AIDS, diabetes, or cancer. Other risk factors include obesity, poor hygiene, and the use of certain medications, such as antibiotics and corticosteroids.

Treatment for cutaneous candidiasis typically involves topical antifungal medications, such as clotrimazole or miconazole. In severe cases, oral antifungal medications may be necessary. Keeping the affected area clean and dry is also important to prevent the spread of the infection.

Polyendocrinopathies, autoimmune refers to a group of disorders that involve malfunction of multiple endocrine glands, caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking and damaging these glands. The endocrine glands are responsible for producing hormones that regulate various functions in the body.

There are several types of autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, including:

1. Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 1 (APS-1): Also known as Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 1 or APECED, this is a rare inherited disorder that typically affects multiple endocrine glands and other organs. It is caused by mutations in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene.
2. Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 2 (APS-2): Also known as Schmidt's syndrome, this disorder typically involves the adrenal glands, thyroid gland, and/or insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It is more common than APS-1 and often affects middle-aged women.
3. Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 3 (APS-3): This disorder involves the presence of autoimmune Addison's disease, with or without other autoimmune disorders such as thyroid disease, type 1 diabetes, or vitiligo.
4. Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 4 (APS-4): This is a catch-all category for individuals who have multiple autoimmune endocrine disorders that do not fit into the other types of APS.

Symptoms of autoimmune polyendocrinopathies can vary widely depending on which glands are affected and the severity of the damage. Treatment typically involves replacing the hormones that are no longer being produced in sufficient quantities, as well as managing any underlying immune system dysfunction.

Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by Candida species, most commonly Candida albicans. It can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, mucous membranes (such as the mouth and vagina), and internal organs (like the esophagus, lungs, or blood).

The symptoms of candidiasis depend on the location of the infection:

1. Oral thrush: White patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, gums, or roof of the mouth. These patches may be painful and can bleed slightly when scraped.
2. Vaginal yeast infection: Itching, burning, redness, and swelling of the vagina and vulva; thick, white, odorless discharge from the vagina.
3. Esophageal candidiasis: Difficulty swallowing, pain when swallowing, or feeling like food is "stuck" in the throat.
4. Invasive candidiasis: Fever, chills, and other signs of infection; multiple organ involvement may lead to various symptoms depending on the affected organs.

Risk factors for developing candidiasis include diabetes, HIV/AIDS, use of antibiotics or corticosteroids, pregnancy, poor oral hygiene, and wearing tight-fitting clothing that traps moisture. Treatment typically involves antifungal medications, such as fluconazole, nystatin, or clotrimazole, depending on the severity and location of the infection.

'Candida albicans' is a species of yeast that is commonly found in the human body, particularly in warm and moist areas such as the mouth, gut, and genital region. It is a part of the normal microbiota and usually does not cause any harm. However, under certain conditions like a weakened immune system, prolonged use of antibiotics or steroids, poor oral hygiene, or diabetes, it can overgrow and cause infections known as candidiasis. These infections can affect various parts of the body including the skin, nails, mouth (thrush), and genital area (yeast infection).

The medical definition of 'Candida albicans' is:

A species of yeast belonging to the genus Candida, which is commonly found as a commensal organism in humans. It can cause opportunistic infections when there is a disruption in the normal microbiota or when the immune system is compromised. The overgrowth of C. albicans can lead to various forms of candidiasis, such as oral thrush, vaginal yeast infection, and invasive candidiasis.

Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis (MCL) is a chronic, granulomatous disease caused by an infection with Leishmania species, primarily L. braziliensis and L. guyanensis. It affects both the mucous membranes (such as those of the nose, mouth, and throat) and the skin.

The initial infection often occurs through the bite of an infected female sandfly, which transmits the parasitic protozoa into the host's skin. After a variable incubation period, the disease can manifest in different clinical forms, including localized cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis, and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis.

MCL is characterized by progressive destruction of the mucous membranes, leading to deformities and functional impairments. The infection typically starts as a cutaneous lesion at the site of the sandfly bite, which heals spontaneously within several months. However, in some cases, the parasites disseminate to the mucous membranes, causing severe inflammation, ulceration, and tissue necrosis.

Symptoms of MCL include:

1. Destruction of nasal septum, leading to a saddle-nose deformity
2. Perforation of the palate or septum
3. Hoarseness or loss of voice due to laryngeal involvement
4. Difficulty swallowing and speaking
5. Chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, or otitis media
6. Severe disfigurement and functional impairments in advanced cases

Diagnosis is usually made by identifying the parasites in tissue samples (such as biopsies) using microscopy, culture, or PCR-based methods. Treatment typically involves systemic antiparasitic drugs, such as pentavalent antimonials, amphotericin B, miltefosine, or combination therapies, along with surgical interventions to reconstruct damaged tissues in advanced cases.

Oral candidiasis is a medical condition characterized by an infection of the oral mucous membranes caused by the Candida fungus species, most commonly Candida albicans. It is also known as thrush or oral thrush. The infection typically appears as white, creamy, or yellowish patches or plaques on the tongue, inner cheeks, roof of the mouth, gums, and sometimes on the tonsils or back of the throat. These lesions can be painful, causing soreness, burning sensations, and difficulty swallowing. Oral candidiasis can affect people of all ages; however, it is more commonly seen in infants, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems due to illness or medication use. Various factors such as poor oral hygiene, dentures, smoking, dry mouth, and certain medical conditions like diabetes or HIV/AIDS can increase the risk of developing oral candidiasis. Treatment usually involves antifungal medications in the form of topical creams, lozenges, or oral solutions, depending on the severity and underlying cause of the infection.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a medical condition that refers to an infection in the vagina and vulva caused by Candida fungus, most commonly Candida albicans. This type of infection is also commonly known as a yeast infection. The symptoms of vulvovaginal candidiasis can include itching, redness, swelling, pain, and soreness in the affected area, as well as thick, white vaginal discharge that may resemble cottage cheese. In some cases, there may also be burning during urination or sexual intercourse. Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a common condition that affects many women at some point in their lives, and it can be treated with antifungal medications.

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a type of cytokine, which are proteins that play a crucial role in cell signaling and communication during the immune response. IL-17 is primarily produced by a subset of T helper cells called Th17 cells, although other cell types like neutrophils, mast cells, natural killer cells, and innate lymphoid cells can also produce it.

IL-17 has several functions in the immune system, including:

1. Promoting inflammation: IL-17 stimulates the production of various proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and enzymes from different cell types, leading to the recruitment of immune cells like neutrophils to the site of infection or injury.
2. Defending against extracellular pathogens: IL-17 plays a critical role in protecting the body against bacterial and fungal infections by enhancing the recruitment and activation of neutrophils, which can engulf and destroy these microorganisms.
3. Regulating tissue homeostasis: IL-17 helps maintain the balance between immune tolerance and immunity in various tissues by regulating the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and other structural components.

However, dysregulated IL-17 production or signaling has been implicated in several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, targeting the IL-17 pathway with specific therapeutics has emerged as a promising strategy for treating these conditions.

Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 1 (STAT1) is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression in response to cytokines and interferons. It is activated through phosphorylation by Janus kinases (JAKs) upon binding of cytokines to their respective receptors. Once activated, STAT1 forms homodimers or heterodimers with other STAT family members, translocates to the nucleus, and binds to specific DNA sequences called gamma-activated sites (GAS) in the promoter regions of target genes. This results in the modulation of gene expression involved in various cellular processes such as immune responses, differentiation, apoptosis, and cell cycle control. STAT1 also plays a critical role in the antiviral response by mediating the transcription of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs).

Invasive candidiasis is a serious and potentially life-threatening fungal infection caused by the Candida species, most commonly Candida albicans. It occurs when the fungus invades normally sterile areas of the body, such as the bloodstream, heart, brain, or eyes. Invasive candidiasis can cause a variety of symptoms depending on the site of infection, and may include fever, chills, hypotension, sepsis, organ dysfunction, and skin lesions.

Risk factors for invasive candidiasis include prolonged use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, immunosuppression, indwelling catheters, recent surgery, critical illness, and underlying medical conditions such as diabetes or cancer. Diagnosis typically involves blood cultures and sometimes tissue biopsy, and treatment usually requires intravenous antifungal medications such as echinocandins, fluconazole, or amphotericin B. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent serious complications and improve outcomes.
