Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is a primary immunodeficiency condition caused by a genetic abnormality that increases the risk of recurrent and persistent skin, nail, and mucous membrane infections with Candida species, typically . Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) gene mutation is a genetic trigger that causes CMC, which increases the risk of infections, multisystem disorders, and cancer susceptibility. We describe the first case of a Saudi female patient with clinical features of CMC with an underlying (STAT1) gene mutation.

Objectives: Genital lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic mucocutaneous disorder causing considerable discomfort. Despite this, comprehensive comparison of LS impacts on quality of life (QoL), particularly on men's health or relative to other dermatological conditions like pemphigus, are sparse. This research aims to discern the effects of LS on sexual functionality and overall QoL, benchmarking against pemphigus patients and healthy controls.

Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic, recurrent mucocutaneous inflammatory disease that develops due to a disturbed immunological response triggered by endogenous and exogenous factors. To evaluate clinical presentation, demographic characteristics, and risk factors in a cohort of Polish patients with oral lichen planus (OLP). Medical records of 186 patients with OLP referred to the student outpatient clinic in Poznań University of Medical Sciences from 2013 to 2023 were analyzed in order to establish clinical presentation, patient's demographic characteristics, and risk factors for OLP.

Article Synopsis
- Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the skin and mucous membranes, with a low overall prevalence of about 0.15% among U.S. adults, higher in females compared to males.
- Among over half a million patients studied, 1,098 had LP, with many (53%) receiving no treatment after a year; topical corticosteroids were the most common initial therapy.
- The findings highlight the need for further research on treatment options since patients on systemic immunosuppressants were more likely to continue or switch treatments after a year.
