  • Title: Update on oral candidosis.
    Author: Arkell S, Shinnick A.
    Journal: Nurs Times; ; 99(48):52-3. PubMed ID: 14705552.
    Abstract:
    Oral candidosis, commonly known as oral thrush, is usually caused by the yeast fungus Candida albicans (Wenzel and Pfaller, 1991). It affects the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, mainly the surface of the tongue, palate, cheeks and lips, and is the same organism that causes vaginal yeast infections.
