Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis[1] is an immune disorder of T cells.[2] It is characterized by chronic infections with Candida that are limited to mucosal surfaces, skin, and nails.[3]:310 However, it can also be associated with other types of infections, such as human papilloma virus.[4]

An association with chromosome 2 has been identified.[5]
