PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONSCandida Albicans is a saprophytic yeast that proliferates in the host when the environment becomes favorable and the host's defenses are weakened. The sites most favorable are usually mucocutaneous areas where heat and moisture provide a fertile environment and where various conditions of general disease increase susceptibility to this condition. |

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONSThe manifestation vary with the site of infection, the most common appearing as erythematous, well-demarcated, exodus patches of varying shapes and sizes. Candida can appear in any number of sites, especially the vagina, groin and gluteal folds, umbilicus, inframammary areas, and even between toes and fingers. Oral candidiasis appears as Thrush with creamy white patches of exudate and can appear around the fingernail as candidal paronychia.Candidal infections develop in environments that are moist and alkaline in nature, in nutritional and immune deficiencies, diabetes, administration of antibiotics and certain endocrine-metabolic abnormalities. These conditions must be cleared up and resolved in order for the actual treatment to be effective. |
