Abstract
- Erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC), first described by Darier in 1916, is characterized by annular, circinate, gyrate or serpiginous lesions. Although the pathogenesis of EAC is not fully understood, it is considered to be a hypersensitivity reaction to a wide variety of etiological factors, including autoimmune diseases, internal malignancies, drugs, infections, and pregnancy. To the best our knowledge, no case of EAC associated with Candida guilliermondii infection has ever been published in the Korean medical literature, and there have been a few reported cases associated with Candida albicans in other countries. Herein, we report on a rare and interesting case of EAC in a 62-year-old female patient with Candida guilliermondii infection.
