Among the 155 cases of A.I.D.S. observed by the authors in Bangui (C.A.R.) from April 1985 to February 1986, 49 patients (31.6%) were carriers of mycosis. 42 candidosis, 5 cryptococcosis, 2 aspergillosis were found; the authors describe the clinical aspects, the localizations and the methods of diagnosis.
In 1985, available drugs to cure deep mycosis are in fact limited to amphotericin B (Fungizone), 5-fluorocytosine (Ancotil) and ketoconazole (Nizoral). Potassium iodide is not much utilized. In diffuse aspergillosis and meningitic cryptococcosis, Fungizone by I.V. injection remains the high-grade antifungal drug--Ancotil is not actually used anymore in mono-therapy, but associated either with Fungizone in cryptococcosis and diffuse aspergillosis, or with Nizoral in systemic candidosis--Nizoral, which does not diffuse in C.S.F. and has a limited efficiency in immunosuppressive patients, is recommended in systemic candidosis and tropical deep mycosis, particularly histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, entomophtoromycosis, as well as in candidosis and diffuse aspergillosis prophylaxis in people at high risk. New antimycosis drugs are under studies: itraconazole efficient against aspergillus and fluconazole, which diffuses in C.S.F. and has a long time action.

The two most important pathologic conditions leading to mycotic opportunistic infections in children are impairment of mechanisms of defense due to immunosuppressive drugs and congenital defects of immunity. Other circumstances belong to pediatrics such as prematurity or cystic fibrosis. A few examples are chosen to illustrate these situations: congenital candidiasis, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, chronic dermatophytic disease, neonatal candidemia, mycotic infections in chronic granulomatous disease and aspergillosis in cystic fibrosis.
