Thrush (Oropharyngeal Candidiasis) Genital Yeast Infection (Genital Candidiasis) Diaper Rash from Yeast Infection Invasive CandidiasisThere are many kinds of fungus that live in the human body. One type is called candida. It's a type of yeast that normally lives in small amounts in places like your mouth and belly, or on your skin without causing any problems. But when the environment is right, the yeast can multiply and grow out of control. The infection it causes is called candidiasis. There are several different types of it. Most can be easily treated with over-the-counter or prescription medications. When the candida yeast spreads in the mouth and throat, it can cause an infection called thrush. It's most common in newborns, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Candida species are yeastlike fungi that can form true hyphae and pseudohyphae. For the most part, Candida species are confined to human and animal reservoirs; however, they are frequently recovered from the hospital environment, including on foods, countertops, air-conditioning vents, floors, respirators, and medical personnel. They are also normal commensals of diseased skin and mucosal membranes of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and respiratory tracts.
