[The bullous variant of erythema annulare centrifugum Darier in Candida albicans infections].

A 15-year old male patient with Down-Syndrome suffering from a unusual vesicular type of erythema annular centrifugum Darier and a concurrent intestinal infection with candida albicans is described. Histology, immunhistological assay, and clinical observation allowed to differentiate Erythema annulare centrifugum from erythema exsudativum multiforme as well as dermatitis herpetiformis. On the basis of immunological findings and the clinical course, a hypersensitivity to candida albicans like a so-called "id-reaction" is assumed to be the main etiological factor in this case.
