MANAGEMENT OF MUCOCUTANEOUS CANDIDIASIS
Abstract:
Candidiasis is a mycotic infection caused by
members of the genus Candida. The clinical
manifestations may be acute, subacute or chronic and
may be localized on skin, nails or mucosa (mouth,
gastrointestinal tract, genital, lungs) and represents 25%
from all mycotic infections. The first step in the
management of candidiasis should be to correct the
underlying conditions. Topical therapy is sufficient in
most patients; oral therapy is indicated in severe cases or
in immunosuppressed patients.
