Özet
The earliest published description of oral infection with Candida albicans dates from 1838. François Valleix, a paediatric specialist in France noted the infection within the buccal cavity. Candidiasis (thrush) generally occurs in newborn children or those under the age of 1 year, or in older patients who are on antibiotic or corticosteroid pharmacotherapy, have multiple endocrine abnormalities or are immunodeficient. Candidiasis is a potential initial presentation of underlying HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. When observed at a late stage in HIV, it is an ominous sign. Children using corticosteroid inhalers are also at a raised risk of thrush [1].
