Candidiasis

Candidiasis is a mycotic infection caused by various Candida species, including C. albicans and C. glabrata. It can present itself in acute, subacute, or chronic forms, affecting areas such as the mouth, throat, skin, and more. This infection can remain localized or progress to systemic complications like septicaemia and meningitis. Candida species are widespread and commonly found on humans, making them ubiquitous opportunistic pathogens. Understanding candidiasis is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment.
