Thorny, Horny Dilemma

Ian McColl from Queensland, Australia, is presenting a five year-old girl for opinions. He doesn't have much information at this time. We will present her case formally on VGRD in a week or two, but I know he'd appreciate rapid responses at this time, too.

Ian writes:
"She had been seen elsewhere for treatment of her "severe psoriasis" which she had for the last two years. Clinically this is chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. There is no family history. She has had vaginal candidiasis before and UTIs. She is otherwise well. She did have shotty glands in neck, groin and axillae.

Has anyone had recent experience of treating a case? Ketoconazole orally ? toxicity? Fluconazole orally? How long for? Best wishes, Ian."
