    Abstract:
    Human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV) is unique among cutaneous fungal infections caused by defects of the cell-mediated immune system. Infections with Candida albicans occur with increased frequency and severity among HIV-infected individuals. Oral candidiasis is the most common manifestation, superficial cutaneous infections of the dermis are rarely seen. We report a HIV-positive man from Cameroon presenting with generalized cutaneous papules and nodes, oral candidiasis, and soor esophagitis, who was successfully treated with fluconazole monotherapy.
