caused by C. albicans known as oral candidiasis or candidosis. However, C. albicans exist in the mouths of 80% of healthy individuals. Any alteration in the environment of oral cavity can change the presence of candida from commensal to pathogenic. This translation in the status of candida is due to many predisposing factors. In the past, oral candidiasis was thought to affect mainly elderly and very young population. Recently, the incidence of oral candidiasis increased greatly with the intensification
with the host and a very low intrinsic virulence to cause until the immunity is altered. Some of these include: Candida species, Aspergillus species, pneumocystic jirovecii and Cyptococcus neoformans. These disseminate diseases such as: oral candidiasis (oral thrush), genito-urinary disease and ocular or sinus infections which may spread to involve the Central Nervous system [2]. Opportunistic fungal infections are mainly immunocompromised individuals such as: those with HIV, extensive surgery

supposed to neutralize the proteins. Cause of Yeast Allergy There is two basic cause of yeast allergy which are given below • Foods containing yeast like bread, wine and beer can cause allergy. • A yeast infection in the body called candidiasis. Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by a microorganism called candida albicans. It is found in the human body and animals too. It is not harmful because the amount of yeast is balanced by another organism known as the lactobacillus acidophilus.
What is Thrush? Thrush is a fungal infection primarily, of mucosal tissues of the body. Also termed as Candidiasis or, “yeast infection” in common language, thrush is the result of the overgrowth of Candida albicans, a genus of fungi. Although it can cause problems for individuals of any gender and age having a weak immune system, children and elders are more prone to this disease. What is the real source of Thrush? Your own body is the real source of Thrush. Many types of microbes like bacteria

Introduction Bacterial vaginosis is known to be the most common cause of abnormal vaginal discharge in women of childbearing age (Hay, 2010). Bacterial vaginosis is the result of the substitution of normal vaginal lactobacilli with anaerobic bacteria Gardnerella vaginalis and Prevotella, Peptostreptococcus and Bacteroides spp., which will result loss of the normal vaginal acidity (Turovskiy, Sutyak Noll, & Chikindas, 2010). Bacterial vaginosis is the main trigger of vaginal discharge or malodor in
1.0 INTRODUCTION Fungus exists in a form of mycelium or can occur as sclerotia, a resistant structure. The production of additional hyphae and asexual spores, conidia are due to the germination of the sclerotia. The product then will be freely introduced in the soil, water and air. Fungi that are being introduced into body of water which subsequently change the taste and odours of the drinking water. Drinking of the infected water will cause fungal infections in human. Despite through water, human
The Yeast menace is a yeast infection which has many chains of infections attached to it, the infections consist of Thrush, Monilia and Candidosis. The yeast menace starts when the yeast organisms no longer function properly with in the body, this then causes a fast over growth of the re production of cells. Thrush is one of the infections connected with the yeast menace, which is can be causes in women and men. Thrush in woman is also known as vaginal candidas, this infection is based in the vagina
Yeast infection can cause an uncomfortable feeling and is an unwanted problem. Preventing yeast infection is a key to curb the growth of the fungus.

It does not have to be complicated with these straight, simple prevention tips which can help make your life a lot easier and free of yeast infections. These tips will
Candidiasis, also called thrush or moniliasis, is a yeast infection. Candida albicans is an organism that normally makes a quiet home for itself on your skin and doesn't bother anyone. We all carry this organism on our skin, in our mouth, in our gastrointestinal tract (gut), and, in the case of women, in the vagina. Occasionally the yeast multiplies uncontrollably, causing pain and inflammation. Candidiasis may affect the skin. This includes the external surface skin and the skin of the vagina,
folds and creases of the body. Patient who have diabetes have increased colonization of oral mucosa by candida albicans and an increased prevalence of oral candidiasis. Another oral complication is xerostomia which occurs more when the diabetes is uncontrolled. Patients with diabetes have a higher risk for developing dental caries and oral candidiasis if the oral tissue is dehydrated. Other factors that can be linked with diabetes mellitus is excessive periodontal bone loss, tooth mobility, and early
Liver Disease (Hepatitis) There are many different types of diseases that dental hygienist have to be aware of. It is important to know the basic information about the disease and how the disease affects the patient’s oral cavity as well as how to treat the patient. This paper will be addressing liver disease and more specifically, liver disease caused by hepatitis. “The term liver disease applies to many diseases and disorders that cause the liver to function improperly or stop functioning.” (U
Smallpox is caused by the variola virus and is a contagious disfiguring and often deadly disease that has no existing cure or treatment. It was eradicated worldwide in 1980 by a global immunization campaign. Samples of the virus has been kept for research purposes. Smallpox can spread several ways: 1. It can be spread by direct contact with an infected person after prolonged face-to-face contact or through the air by droplets that escape the infected person when the person coughs, sneezes or talks
exactly how the yeast can mess up your system. Some of the factors that cause the fungus to become an enemy, can be avoided. Birth control pills are associated with the infection and you do not have to wait for them to affect you. Pictures of vaginal candidiasis will help you make up your mind. Pregnancy will cause an infection and there are many ways of treating the condition so that you do not pass it to your unborn child.

1. “Flovent is used to prevent asthma attacks. It will not treat an asthma attack that has already begun.”(Drugs.com, 2014). Flovent should not be used to treat an asthma attack because it will not work fast enough to reduce and reverse the attack. Salbutamol (Ventolin) should be used during an asthma attack because it is a fast-acting inhalant. Salbutamol will open up the airways allowing for oxygen or other inhalants to enter. 2. Mr. TG is still in respiratory distress, wheezing is still present
4- Black Hairy Tongue -Characterized by the elongation and hyperkeratosis of the filiform papillae, resulting in this hairlike appearance. The elongated papillae usually exhibit brown, yellow, or black pigmentation. Most patients are asymptomatic, but occasionally patients complain of irritation, gagging, or an altered taste. Patients are usually heavy smokers with poor oral hygiene and some have vitamin deficiencies, GI problems, or radiation therapy. Cures range from just brushing the tongue to
Corticosteroids The main pharmaceutical drugs used to treat and manage asthma are Beta2-adrenergic agonist and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Beta2-adrenergic agonists are used for relief and acute symptoms, while corticosteroids are to be taken daily to control inflammation. Inhaled corticosteroids are used as the first-line maintenance therapy. ICS are the most effective anti-inflammatory drug used in the management of asthma. ICS must be used long-term, as symptoms are likely to recur if they
Thrush, Infant Thrush, also called oral candidiasis, is a fungal infection that develops in the mouth. It causes white patches to form in the mouth, often on the tongue. If your baby has thrush, he or she may feel soreness in and around the mouth. Thrush is a common problem in infants and is easily treated. Most cases of thrush clear up within a week or two with treatment. CAUSES Thrush is usually caused by the overgrowth of a yeast called Candida albicans. This yeast is normally present
