About Oral candidiasis.

Oral candidiasis is an opportunistic fungal infection of the oral cavity and mucous membranes caused by an overgrowth of *Candida* species, predominantly *Candida albicans*.

It commonly affects neonates, older adults, denture wearers, and individuals with local or systemic immunosuppression, including patients using inhaled corticosteroids or broad-spectrum antibiotics, as well as those with diabetes mellitus or HIV/AIDS.

Pathophysiologically, the condition occurs when disruptions in mucosal barrier integrity, salivary flow, or host immune defenses allow commensal yeasts to transform into invasive hyphal forms.

Clinical presentations typically manifest as wipeable white pseudomembranous plaques over an erythematous base, burning erythematous mucosal lesions, or chronic hyperplastic plaques, often accompanied by oral pain, altered taste, or dysphagia.
