Abstract

Candida erythematous stomatitis is frequently seen in immunocompromised adults, and the first signs of immunodeficiency are seen in the oral cavity in which the weakened immune defense system, favors proliferation of saprophytic microbes. We report a case of candida pseudomembranous erythematous stomatitis in a 35year old immunocompetent Cameroonian male. Clinical examination showed erythematous lesions and white spots on the tongue, the internal face of the jaws, lower lips and the labial commissures. Mycologic tests showed the presence of fungi. The outcome was favorable with systemic and local anti mycotics and antiseptics.
