About Candidiasis.

Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by yeasts of the genus *Candida*, predominantly *Candida albicans*, which normally reside as benign commensal organisms on human skin and mucosal membranes.

The condition manifests along a broad clinical spectrum ranging from superficial mucocutaneous infections—such as oral thrush, esophageal candidiasis, and vulvovaginal candidiasis—to severe, life-threatening invasive candidiasis involving the bloodstream or deep organs.

Pathogenesis is driven by yeast overgrowth and tissue invasion following mucosal barrier disruption, antibiotic-induced microflora depletion, or host immune impairment.

Clinical presentations depend on the site of involvement, commonly featuring curd-like mucosal plaques, pruritic erythema, dysphagia, or refractory systemic fevers and hemodynamic instability in invasive disease.
