Which superficial dermatomycosis is known to increase with AIDS?

Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by yeasts, particularly Candida albicans, and it is well-documented that its prevalence increases in individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those with AIDS. In patients with HIV/AIDS, the immune response is significantly weakened, making them more susceptible to opportunistic infections, including candidiasis. This infection can manifest in various forms, such as oral thrush or vaginal yeast infections, and may even lead to systemic infections in severely immunocompromised patients.

The other conditions listed are less directly impacted by AIDS. Tinea corporis and ringworm are fungal infections that primarily affect healthy individuals, and while they can occur in immunocompromised patients, they do not show the same level of increased incidence as candidiasis in association with AIDS. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition rather than a fungal infection, and while it can be exacerbated by stress or other triggers, it does not have the same link to HIV/AIDS as candidiasis does. Thus, candidiasis stands out as the superficial dermatomycosis that is most commonly associated with increased incidence in individuals with AIDS.
