    Giavanny Eka
    Candidiasis Oral, also known as thrush, is an infection of the mouth caused by the yeast Candida albicans. It commonly affects infants and immunocompromised individuals. Symptoms include white patches in the mouth or throat and soreness. Risk factors include antibiotic or steroid use, HIV/AIDS, and diabetes. Diagnosis involves examination for white patches or culture. Treatment involves antifungal medications like nystatin or clotrimazole. While usually mild, thrush can occasionally spread to the esophagus or lungs in severe cases.

    Candidiasis Oral

    Thrush is an infection of the buccal cavity


    by Candida albicans.
    The disease is typically limited to infants and
    neonates, patients on antibiotics or steroids, and
    patients with polyendocrine disorders or
    underlying immune dysfunction. Thrush may be
    the first sign of HIV infection; its appearance in
    advanced HIV indicates poor prognosis.
    Epidemiologi
     Frequency
     United States : As many as 37% of newborns may develop thrush during the first
    months of life.
     International : Thrush is universal and is more common in poorly nourished
    populations.
     Mortality/Morbidity
    Thrush is usually a mild and self-limited illness. Consider the possibility of an underlying
    immunodeficiency when thrush occurs after early infancy or without a reasonable
    explanation.
     Sex
    Thrush occurs equally in males and females.
     Age
    Thrush is rare during the first week of life. Incidence peaks around the fourth week of
    life; thrush is uncommon in infants older than 6-9 months. Thrush can occur, however, at
    any age in predisposed patients.
    Etiologi
    Candida yeasts
    normally live on the
    skin or mucous
    membranes in small
    amounts. However, if
    the environment inside  Kingdom: Fungi

    the mouth or throat  Phylum: Ascomycota

    becomes imbalanced,  Subphylum: Saccharomycotina


     Class: Saccharomycetes
    the yeasts can multiply
     Order: Saccharomycetales
    and cause symptoms.  Family: Saccharomycetaceae
     Genus: Candida
     Species: Candida albicans
    Faktor Predisposisi
    Being in poor health
    Being very old or very young
    Having an HIV infection or AIDS
    Long-term use or high dose antibiotics
    Receiving chemotheraphy or drugs that weaken the
    immune system
    Taking steroid medications
    Gejala dan Tanda
     The most common symptom of oral thrush is white
    patches or plaques on the tongue and other oral
    mucous membranes. Other symptoms include:
    Redness or soreness in the affected areas
    Difficulty swallowing
    Cracking at the corners of the mouth (angular cheilitis)
    Pemeriksaan Penunjang
    Laboratoty studies :
    Plaques can be cultured, although cultures are rarely
    indicated. A simple Gram stain demonstrates large,
    ovoid, gram-positive yeast.
    Histology findings :
    Pseudohyphae and gram-positive yeast can be seen on
    Gram stain or with potassium hydroxide stain.
    Penatalaksanaan
    For thrush in infants, treatment is often NOT needed. It
    usually gets better on its own within 2 weeks.
    Good control of blood sugar levels in persons with
    diabetes may clear a thrush infection.
    Antifungal :
    Nystatin
    Amphotericin B
    Clotrimazole
    Follow Up
     Complications
     Very rarely, extensive tracheal and esophageal involvement in thrush
    may lead to dysphagia and respiratory distress in otherwise healthy
    hosts.
     Bronchopulmonary candidiasis has been reported.
     Systemic dissemination may occur in immunosuppressed patients.
     Candidal esophagitis is a common complication of thrush in
    immunocompromised patients. In one study, it was the most common
    opportunistic infection in adults with acquired immunodeficiency
    syndrome (AIDS) (13.3 episodes per 100 person-years).
     Prognosis
    Thrush is considered a self-limited disease, but resolution is
    hastened by medical therapy.
