title: Keratitis, ichthyosis, and deafness (KID) syndrome: management with chronic oral ketoconazole therapy.
abstract: Extensive cutaneous mycoses have been described in patients with the keratitis, ichthyosis, and deafness (KID) syndrome. We present a case occurring in a 48-year-old woman where improvement in the ichthyosiform dermatosis, stabilization of her ocular disease, and apparent partial prevention of further cutaneous malignancies occurred in association with ketoconazole therapy.
