  • Title: Diabetes mellitus as a contributory factor in oral candidosis.
    Author: Soysa NS, Samaranayake LP, Ellepola AN.
    Journal: Diabet Med; 2006 May; 23(5):455-9. PubMed ID: 16681553.
    Abstract:
    It has been reported that poor glycaemic control predisposes to oral candidal infection in diabetic patients. For instance, the carriage of Candida species and the density of candidal growth in the oral cavity is frequently claimed to be increased in patients with diabetes mellitus. However, the validity of these observations remains controversial. Hence, we review and discuss here the clinical data in the literature on the relationship between diabetes and oral candidal carriage and infection, and possible mechanisms associated with its pathogenicity.
