Cheilo-candidosis in an adult.
A rare case of candidal infection of the lips is presented. Predisposing factors appeared to be intra-oral candidal carriage, actinic lip damage and Sjögren's syndrome. Systemic antifungal therapy with fluconazole resolved the initial infection and a subsequent recurrence.
