Since seven years, the 23-year-old woman suffered from severe dysphagia and cutaneous Candida-granulomas on the right side of the head, the nose and both hands. The therapy with different oral antimycotics was ineffective. Intravenously and orally administered high-dose fluconazole has induced healing of the mucocutaneous lesions. The esophageal stenosis, most likely caused by esophageal candidosis, was found as the origin of dysphagia. It was successfully treated by fluconazole and endoscopic dilatations.
