Laryngeal candidiasis: A cause of airway obstruction in the immunocompromised child
Abstract
Laryngeal involvement with candida is usually secondary to pulmonary candidiasis and is seen in patients with impaired immunity. We report a case of isolated laryngeal candidiasis involving the vestibular folds and presenting with stridor in a one-year-old child with Down's syndrome and hypogammaglobulinaemia. Vestibular fold reduction and fluconazole achieved resolution of the disease. Candidiasis should be considered in any potentially immunodeficient child presenting with symptoms of laryngeal disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
