Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is an immune disorder characterized by T cell dysfunction. This causes the patient to be susceptible to chronic infections by Candida albicans that are limited to the skin and mucous membrane. In addition, individuals are also more susceptible to human papilloma virus.
