Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Mycology

Background:

  • Candida yeasts are common, often harmless inhabitants of the skin.
  • Their role in immuno-allergic skin reactions is debated.
  • Saprophytic fungi can sometimes trigger immune responses.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old patient presented with a purpuric maculo-papular eruption, a rare triad of symptoms.
  • Skin biopsy revealed angiitis and necrotizing capillaritis.
  • Intradermal candidin testing reproduced the patient's symptoms and histological findings.

Findings:

  • The patient's eruption was linked to Candida immunogenicity.
  • Circulating immune complexes were transiently detected.
  • A digestive Candida focus was identified, but other microbial tests were normal.

Implications:

  • This case highlights Candida's potential to induce severe cutaneous immuno-allergic reactions.
  • Angiitis and necrotizing capillaritis may be manifestations of fungal hypersensitivity.
  • Systemic antifungal treatment can be effective, though relapse is possible.
