AB We report a case of recalcitrant generalized cutaneous polydermatophyte and Candida infection in an AIDS patient who responded very poorly to topical, oral, and intravenous therapy. The patient died of respiratory arrest secondary to pneumonia 14 months after a cutaneous fungal infection developed and 12 months after AIDS was diagnosed. Extensive cutaneous fungal infections refractory to treatment may be a presenting sign of HIV infection.
