Vaginal candidiasis
Over one million women in the United States develop vaginal yeast
infections each year. It is not life-threatening, but it can be
uncomfortable and frustrating.
Oral candidiasis
This disorder, also known as thrush, causes white, curd-like patches
in the mouth or throat.
Deep organ candidiasis
Also known as invasive candidiasis, deep organ candidiasis is a
serious systemic infection that can affect the esophagus, heart,
blood, liver, spleen, kidneys, eyes, and skin. Like vaginal and oral
candidiasis, it is an opportunistic disease that strikes when a
person's resistance is lowered, often due to another illness. There
are many diagnostic categories of deep organ candidiasis, depending
on the tissues involved. |
