Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis

CMC often is associated with defects in cell-mediated immunity and can be accompanied by endocrinopathies, thymoma, or multiple autoimmune conditions. CMC does not represent a specific disease but rather a phenotypic presentation spectrum of immunologic, endocrinologic, and autoimmune disorders. CMC can be divided broadly into the following 3 categories: CMC without associated endocrinopathy, CMC with associated endocrinopathy, CMC associated with thymoma.
