Candidose nodulaire de la region inguino-génitale et des fesses (granuloma glutaeale infantum)

Le résumé fourni par la source

Three infants, 4 to 9 months old, treated for ‘seborrheic dermatitis’ with topical fluorinated corticosteroids present clinically nodular and histologically granulomatous lesions in the genito-inguinal regions and over the buttocks; mycological investigations and PAS stains of tissu sections show the presence of yeast elements identified as being Candida albicans. No general illness favoring the development of granulomatous candidiasis could be found. This fact together with the location of the eruption permit to suppose that the lesions are due to the application of fluorinated steroids, the treated region being covered with plastic pants over the diapers.
