 | Media file 1: A moist, erosive, pruritic patch of the perianal skin and perineum (with satellite pustule formation) is demonstrated in this woman with extensive candidosis. |
 | Media file 2: Discrete superficial pustules developed within hours of birth on the hand of an otherwise healthy newborn. A potassium hydroxide preparation revealed spores and pseudomycelium, and culture demonstrated the presence of Candida albicans. |
 | Media file 3: Dry, red, superficially scaly, pruritic macules and patches on the penis represent candidal balanitis. |
 | Media file 4: White plaques are present on the buccal mucosa and the undersurface of the tongue and represent thrush. When wiped off, the plaques leave red erosive areas. |
 | Media file 5: Erythema, maceration, and satellite pustules in the axilla, accompanied by soreness and pruritus result in a form of intertrigo. |
 | Media file 6: A nailfold with candidal infection becomes erythematous, swollen, and tender with an occasional discharge |
 | Media file 7: Soreness and cracks at the lateral angles of the mouth (angular cheilitis) is a frequent expression of candidosis in elderly individuals. |
 | Media file 8: Fine superficial pustules on an erythematous patchy base are suggestive of candidosis. |
 | Media file 9: Candida infection should be in the differential diagnosis when one or more nails become discolored, has subungual discoloration, nailplate separation from the nailbed, and lack evidence of a dermatophyte. |
