Overgrowth of the C. albicans yeast in t he gastrointestinal
tract, or infection of other body areas with this yeast. Vaginal yeast infections,
some forms of diaper rash and other skin rashes that emerge in moist, warm areas
of skin, and thrush (a condition characterized by patches of white inside the mouth
and/or throat) are all forms of yeast infection. Candidiasis tends to develop when
the normal balance of bacteria (flora) in the area is upset, as can occur with antibiotic
use. Prevention measures include the use of probiotics and in some cases dietary
changes. Treatment is via antifungal medications. Candidiasis is usually a minor
and easily addressed problem, but can be more serious for those with immune-system
disorders, such as AIDS.
