    Acute Pseudomembranous Candidosis (Thrush)

    Uploaded by

    dwi
    Candidosis is an oral infection caused by Candida that is seen in people with impaired oral health or immunity. It is traditionally classified into four types: acute pseudomembranous candidosis (thrush), acute atrophic candidosis, chronic hyperplastic candidosis, and chronic atrophic candidosis. Acute pseudomembranous candidosis often affects neonates or those using antibiotics or corticosteroids and can develop into a systemic infection in premature neonates. Chronic hyperplastic candidosis typically presents as leukoplakia at the angles of the mouth or on the tongue and has a higher risk of becoming cancerous.

    Candidosis is seen orally in people with altered oral ecology (from dental appliances,

    hyposalivation, or the local use of immunosuppressants or antimicrobials) and/or impaired


    immunity (eg, transplant recipients, persons on immunosuppressive treatments, persons with
    HIV/AIDS or oral cancer, various cellular immune defects.
    By tradition, the most commonly used classification of oral candidosis divides the infection into 4
    types including (1) acute pseudomembranous candidosis (thrush), (2) acute atrophic
    (erythematous) candidosis, (3) chronic hyperplastic candidosis, and (4) chronic atrophic
    (erythematous) candidosis.

    Acute pseudomembranous candidosis (thrush)


    Thrush may be observed in apparently healthy neonates (who have not yet developed immunity)
    or in persons in whom antibiotics, corticosteroids, or hyposalivation disturb the oral microflora. In
    premature neonates, systemic candidosis may arise. [12]
    Oropharyngeal thrush occasionally complicates the use of corticosteroid inhalers or other topical
    preparations. Immune defects, especially HIV infection, immunosuppressive treatment,
    leukemias, lymphomas, cancer, and diabetes, may predispose patients to candidal infection.

    Erythematous candidosis
    Erythematous candidosis may cause a sore red mouth, especially of the tongue, in patients
    taking broad-spectrum antimicrobials. It also may be a feature of HIV disease. Median rhomboid
    glossitis is a red patch occurring in the middle of the dorsum in the posterior area of the anterior
    two thirds of the tongue and especially is observed in smokers and in those with HIV disease.

    Chronic hyperplastic candidosis


    Chronic hyperplastic candidosis typically presents as a leukoplakia often at the angles of the
    mouth or on the tongue, and it has a higher malignant potential than some other leukoplakias.
    This is especially the case when associated with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasisectodermal dystrophy.[13]
