• Considering the role of inflammation in the development of cancer, we presume that it is possible to reduce the risk of cancer by controlling chronic candida infections. Because long-term fluconazole is well tolerated, we consider that preemptive antifungal treatment is a viable option to reduce the risk of cancer for patients with CMCD. [...]we report the unique case of a patient with CMCD who presented with an atypical severe tuberculosis infection.
