Richard:

Consider contacting Jean-Laurent Casanova at Rockefeller for STAT1 and perhaps other genes.

Subject: [cis-pidd] 12 yo with oral candidiasis

I am seeing a 12 yo who presented with oral candidiasis for the first time two months ago. He was treated with nystatin and cleared. One month later the candida returned.

He had been well with no significant infection history, no exposure to oral or inhaled corticosteroids and one course of antibiotics a few months before presentation. There is no significant past medical or family history. When I saw him, the physical examination was normal.

CBC, IgA, IgG, IgM, CD3, 4,8, 19 and 16/56 were all normal, ANA was negative.

The proliferative response to PHA, ConA and PWM and to tetanus were all vigorous. The response to candida was <50% of the lower limit of normal.

What is the best next step?

Thank you,
Richard Wasserman
