AB The  42-year-old  man  (Figure  136-1)  was  admitted  to  the  hospital  for  community-acquired  pneumonia  and  type  2  diabetes  out  of  control.  On  the  second  day  of  admission,  when  he  was  feeling  a  bit  better,  he  asked  about  the  itching  he  was  having  on  his  penis.  Physical  examination  revealed  an  uncircumcised  penis  with  white  discharge  on  the  glans  and  inside  the  foreskin  consistent  with  Candida  balanitis.  KOH  prep  was  positive  for  the  pseudohyphae  of  Candida.  The  patient  was  treated  with  a  topical  azole  and  the  balanitis  resolved.
