Abstract

We report a family with autosomal dominant chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis as well as recurrent viral infections that segregate with a novel signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) mutation. Prophylactic treatment with fluconazole and immunoglobulin replacement has been initiated, with good clinical response.
