Fungul infection caused by yeast called candida

Thrush – The mouth lining, tongue, or angles of the mouth are red, cracked, or have white patches.

Skin – Small-to-large patches of red, moist, raw skin usually develop in body creases, such as under the breasts, belly, or groin area

Vaginitis – Vaginal itch, pain, or burning are frequent and may be accompanied by a cottage-cheese-like discharge

Esophagitis – Swallowing may be painful, and there may be pain behind the breastbone.

Under normal conditions, there is homeostasis between candida albicans and the host

however, if the balance is disrupted by low pH, regular use of antacids or hyperglycemia

the yeast can break through the intestinal mucosal barrier and cause invasive candidiasis and candidemi

Genus candida
