title: [The characteristics of the clinical picture of candidiasis of the skin and mucous membranes in patients with chronic dermatosis].
abstract: The author describes the clinical picture and course of candida infection of the skin and mucous membranes in 176 patients with chronic dermatoses (eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis). Several patients (9%) showed torpid, atypical manifestations of candidosis, often masqueraded by other skin pathology. It was established that Candida infection is one of the causes of long-term, torpid course and increase of number of recurrences of the main dermatosis, development of a polymorphous clinical picture and mycogenous sensibilization. There was also a reverse relationship: chronization of the Candida process and prolonged elimination of the pathogen, insufficient efficacy of anticandidosis treatment. This dictates the necessity of detailed examination of patients with chronic dermatoses and mycological check-up with the purpose of modern diagnosis and treatment of candidosis of the skin and mucous membranes.
