Abstract

We report a case of persistent annular erythema of infancy in a 4-month-old boy. Physical and laboratory parameters showed no sign of internal disease or specific infection except a massive Candida albicans colonization (> 10³ organisms/mm³) of the lower gastrointestinal tract. Oral treatment with amphotericin B for 2 weeks resulted in a complete remission of the skin lesions indicating Candida colonization as a trigger.
