Abstract
A 6-year-old male patient had been suffering from angular cheilitis and paronychia with fragmentation and dystrophic change of the finger nails. Laboratory findings showed low serum iron level and anemia. Immunologic studies revealed defects in cell mediated immunity. KOH examination and culture of specimens from the lesions showed hyphal elements and growth of Candida albicans respectively. Concomitantly itraconazole and iron sulfate were administered. Four months after treatment he was free of any clinical evidence of the disease.
