Abstract

We herein report a five-year-old boy who presented with a congenital ichthyosis, vasculizing keratitis, neurosensory deafness, and diffuse alopecia. His family history was negative for any similar skin disease or consanguinity. His parents and brother were normal. In addition, he had recurrent cutaneous fungal and bacterial infections. All nails were turbid and dystrophic. His palms and soles showed severe hyperkeratosis. The histopathological findings of his palms showed hyperkeratosis and papillomatosis. PAS staining of a biopsy from a well-demarcated, keratotic nodule on his lower leg showed numerous pseudohyphae within the horny layer. As a result of culture, Candida albicans grew out. Treatment was difficult and only symptomatic relief could be achieved by keratolytic agents and therapy for skin infections. Since there have been reports of squamous cell carcinoma in KID syndrome, a regular follow up is thus called for.
