Background: Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is characterized by recurrent or persistent infections of the skin, nail, oral, and genital mucosa with Candida species, mainly Candida albicans. In a single patient, the first genetic etiology of isolated CMC autosomal recessive interleukin-17 receptor A (IL-17RA) deficiency was reported in 2011.
Case: We report four patients with CMC who displayed autosomal recessive IL-17RA deficiency. The patients were from the same family, and their ages were 11, 13, 36, and 37 years. They all had their first CMC episode by six months of age. All patients manifested staphylococcal skin disease. We documented high IgG levels in the patients. In addition, we found the coexistence of hiatal hernia, hyperthyroidism, and asthma in our patients.
Conclusions: Recent studies have provided new information on the heredity, clinical course, and prognosis of IL-17RA deficiency. However, further studies are needed to reveal the full picture of this congenital disorder.

Fungal skin infections significantly contribute to the global human disease burden, yet our understanding of cutaneous immunity against dermatophytes remains limited. Previously, we developed a model of epicutaneous infection with Microsporum canis in C57BL/6 mice, which highlighted the critical role of IL-17RA signaling in anti-dermatophyte defenses. Here, we expanded our investigation to the human pathogen Nannizzia gypsea and demonstrated that skin γδTCRint and CD8/CD4 double-negative βTCR+ T cells are the principal producers of IL-17A during dermatophytosis.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by extensive skin and internal organ fibrosis. However, the mechanism underlying fibrosis remains unclear, and effective treatments for halting or reversing fibrosis are lacking. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing is used to obtain a comprehensive overview of skin cells from patients with SSc and healthy controls.

infection is the predominant risk factor for the development of gastric cancer. Risk is enhanced by specific virulence factors, diet, and the inflammatory response. Chronic activation of T helper (Th) 1 and Th17 pathways contributes to prolonged inflammation; yet, higher expression of IL-17 receptor (IL-17RA) is a favorable prognostic marker for survival after gastric cancer diagnosis.

A toddler presented with recurrent subcutaneous abscesses, otitis media and pneumonia, requiring frequent hospitalisations and intravenous antimicrobials. He also had oral thrush and difficulty in gaining weight; hence, an underlying inborn error of immunity (IEI) was strongly suspected. The complete haemogram showed leucocytosis with neutrophilic predominance.

Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative pathogen that colonizes the stomach, induces inflammation, and drives pathological changes in the stomach tissue, including gastric cancer. As the principal cytokine produced by Th17 cells, IL-17 mediates protective immunity against pathogens by inducing the activation and mobilization of neutrophils. Whereas IL-17A is largely produced by lymphocytes, the IL-17 receptor is expressed in epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and hematopoietic cells.
