Abstract

The patient was a 12-year-old male who complained of white patches in the oral mucosa. He showed a moon-face and difficulty in walking due to muscle hypofunction.

After instruction of oral hygiene techniques, gargle with Amphotericin B (Fungizone^®) and medication of Trilostane (Desopan^®), serum cortisol value decreased and candidiasis completely disappeared.
