Systemic Candidiasis
Systemic candidiasis is an invasive infection caused by Candida, a type of yeast. It occurs when the organism reaches the bloodstream or internal organs rather than remaining on a body surface.
Key points
- Candida can live on the body without causing illness, but it can sometimes lead to infection.
- Symptoms depend on the body area involved, so surface and invasive infections can look different.
- Antifungal medicines are used for candidiasis, with the medicine choice linked to the type and site of infection.
