简要总结
Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy candidiasis ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene, characterized by the clinical triad of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC), hypoparathyroidism, and adrenal insufficiency. CMC can be complicated by systemic candidiasis or oral squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and may lead to death. The role of chronic Candida infection in the etiopathogenesis of oral SCC is unclear. Long term use of fluconazole lead to emergence of C. albicans strains with azoles decreased susceptibility. CMC is associated with an impaired Th17 cell response, however, it remains unclear whether decreased serum IL-17 and IL-22 levels are related to a defect in cytokine production or to neutralizing autoantibodies resulting from mutations in the AIRE gene
