Overview

Candida albicans contains cytoplasmatic receptors for sexual steroid hormones. The relation between vulvovaginal candidiasis and women’s sexual hormones has been an object of many studies and has been already proved. The relationship between cutaneous candidiasis and women’s sexual hormones as well as a possible relationship between cutaneous and vulvovaginal candidiasis has not been studied in detail yet. The paper takes an interest in factors influencing the development and the progress of mucocutaneous candi diasis and its possible connection with women’s sexual hormones.

Key words:
mucocutaneous candidiasis – women’s sexual hormones
