General
information
Candidiasis is the most common fungal infection of the female genital
tract, and can act as opportunistic pathogens in immunocomprimised
patients, causing infections in many body sites. It is frequently
associated with diabetes, pregnancy, oral contraceptives and antibacterial
and immunosuppressant medications. The segmented pseudohyphaeand
tiny spores commonly intertwine with groups of squamous epithelial
cells. A mild acute inflammatory reaction is often present.
