Zusammenfassung
Candida-Infektionen im Haut- und Schleimhautbereich sind sehr häufige Erkrankungen. Ihr Auftreten kann harmlos sein. Candida-Infektionen können jedoch mit systemischen Erkrankungen assoziiert sein. So ist die Kandidose häufig eine Indikator-Erkrankung für Diabetes mellitus oder Immundefekte (z.B. HIV, Leukämie). Wichtig ist die Unterscheidung zwischen einer nicht behandlungsbedürftigen Kolonisation mit Candida und der Infektion mit Hefen zusammen mit klinischen Symptomen, die je nach Lokalisation und Grunderkrankung behandelt werden muss. Eine besondere Form der Kandidose ist die chronisch mukokutane Kandidose. Diese kann zum einem im Rahmen von hereditären Immundefekten oder auch isoliert vorkommen. In diesem Übersichtsartikel wird der aktuelle Stand der Diagnostik und Therapie der mukokutanen Kandidose diskutiert und auf die immunologischen Grundlagen (Th17) einer Hefepilzinfektion am Fall-Beispiel der chronischen mukokutanen Kandidose eingegangen.
Abstract
Infection with the yeast candida is a quite common disease. Its occurrence might be harmless, however, Candida infections often present with an underlying systemic disease. Thus, candidiasis in some cases can be considered as an indicator for e.g. diabetes mellitus or immune deficiency (i.e. HIV or leukaemia). Of note, we have to distinguish the colonisation and the infection with Candida because only the presence of the yeast together with clinical symptoms is an indication for treatment. The latter has to be adapted according to age, localisation and potentially underlying systemic disease. A special form of Candidiasis constitutes the chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis which can occur in line with hereditary immune deficiencies or also isolated. In the present review we discuss the current status of diagnostic and therapy of mucocutaneous candidiasis as well as the (patho-) immunologic background of yeast infections using the example of a special case of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.
