Candidiasis is an infection caused by a
group of microscopic fungi or yeast. There are more than
20 species of Candida, the most common being
Candida albicans. These fungi live on all surfaces of
our bodies. Under certain conditions, they can become so
numerous they cause infections,
particularly in warm and moist areas. Examples of such
infections are vaginal yeast infections, thrush, skin
and diaper rash, and nailbed
infections.
Candidal infections commonly occur in warm moist body
areas, such as underarms. Usually your skin effectively
blocks yeast, but any breakdown
or cuts in the skin may allow this organism to
penetrate.
Typical affected areas in babies include the mouth and
diaper areas.
In adults, oral yeast infections become more common with
increased age. Adults also can have yeast infections
around dentures, under the
breast and lower abdomen, nailbeds, and beneath other
skin folds. Most of these candidal infections are
superficial and clear up easily with
treatment.
Rarely, the yeast infection may spread throughout the
body. In systemic candidal disease, up to 75% of people
may die. Even common mouth and
vaginal yeast infections can cause critical illness and
can be more resistant to normal treatment.
