Abstract: Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by persistent or recurrent candidal infections of the skin, nails, or mucous membranes. It can be associated with endocrinopathies and autoimmune diseases. A 37-years-old male patient is presented who attended an immunology consultation referred from the dermatology service due to recurrent pyodermitis of several years of evolution; the physical examination also revealed signs of candidiasis in the oral mucosa and lip corners, in the eyelids of both eyes and skin in the abdominal region, which were recurrent, as well as onychomycosis in all toenails. The microbiological study of the pyodermitis lesions showed infection by staphylococcus aureus, and the lesions of the mouth, eyes, abdominal skin and nails showed the presence of Candida albicans. Delayed intradermal skin testing was performed with no T cell response to Candida and Trichophyton antigens. Complementary drugs were indicated to rule out any associated endocrine disorder
