Abstract
The usual description of oral moniliasis is, "Superficial, streaklike lesions which become confluent and form pearly-white, elevated patches which resemble milk curds."1 I have recently seen a strikingly different form.
Case Report: The patient was a 5-year-old Negro boy who became sick November 11, 1969, complaining of abdominal pain and next day of throat and ear pain. His tongue was getting dark. He was seen November 13th by an ear, nose, and throat specialist, who said the child had an abscess of his tonsil for which he prescribed Declomycin syrup, 1 teaspoon four times a day for 3 days.
