Presentation

C. albicans eyelid abscess may be the presenting sign of systemic immunodeficiency. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Entire Body System

  • Splenectomy

    Neither patient responded to standard ITP therapy including splenectomy. Appropriate antifungal treatment of the C. albicans infection was followed by sustained improvement in platelet count in both patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Turkish

    A 4-year-old Turkish girl of consanguineous parents was hospitalized for the evaluation of headaches and recurrent febrile episodes of unknown origin. Her medical history was unremarkable except for a few episodes of uncomplicated oral thrush. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Skin

  • Eczema

    For people who work in wet conditions, the fungus may cause some highly unpleasant eczema-like changes. In addition, the fungus may also lead to an infection of the nails, causing them to crumble away. [netdoctor.co.uk]

    […] may be the cause of their arthritis, headaches, migraines, anxiety, depression, aggression, mood swings, fatigue, sore throats, gas, bloating, persistent cough, irritable bowel syndrome, hyperactivity, memory problems, attention deficit, cold sores, eczema [holistichelp.net]

    Candida has also been shown to aggravate Eczema, Interstitial Cystitis, Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Autism. [thelivingproofinstitute.com]

    It can also cause diaper rash, diarrhea, dizziness, eczema, headaches, blood sugar problems and sugar cravings, tiredness, indigestion (like a burning in the gut), and menstrual irregularities. Then there is the mental/emotional aspect. [thetruthaboutcancer.com]

    […] as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, lupus, psoriasis, scleroderma, or multiple sclerosis Poor memory or concentration, inability to focus Behavioral issues such as ADD, ADHD, and/or brain fog Skin conditions such as eczema [thecandidadiet.com]

Eyes

  • Blepharitis

    Relation of cholesterol-stimulated Staphylococcus aureus growth to chronic blepharitis. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 34, 2291–2296. PubMed Abstract | Google Scholar Smith, K., Perez, A., Ramage, G., Lappin, D., Gemmell, C. G., and Lang, S. (2008). [frontiersin.org]

Neurologic

  • Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure

    A 46-year-old male with a history of injection drug abuse, chronic hepatitis C and diabetes mellitus presented to the Emergency Department of our hospital following a generalized tonic-clonic seizure without recovery of mental status. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Urogenital

  • Vaginal Bleeding

    A G3P2 patient who conceived while using an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) presented at 20 weeks of gestation with mild irregular uterine contractions and vaginal bleeding. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup

Additional workup revealed severe neutropenia with an absolute neutrophil count of 0.18 k/μl (1.19-7.21 k/μl). The abscess resolved after 2 weeks of oral fluconazole. C. albicans eyelid abscess may be the presenting sign of systemic immunodeficiency. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Genitourinary candidiasis - A urinalysis should be performed; evidence of white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), protein, and yeast cells is common; urine fungal cultures are useful Gastrointestinal candidiasis - Endoscopy with or without biopsy See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

Gastroscopy

  • Gastric Lesion

    Here, we present the case report of a woman, aged 64, who presented with type II diabetes mellitus and psoriasis, on chronic treatment with cyclosporin A and with endoscopic evidence of an ulcerated, vegetating gastric lesion secondary to Candida albicans [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment

These results clearly indicate that the combination of PDI and antifungal agents could be a promising treatment against C. albicans infections. KEYWORDS: Candida albicans; antifungal drug; combination treatment; photodynamic inactivation [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis

This situation can be considered as a one-stage exchange for fungal peri-prosthetic infection without preoperative identification of the responsible organism, which is considered as having a poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] first-line if the fungus is not resistant echinocandins indications systemic infections often first-line due to increased resistance to azoles amphotericin B indications systemic infections second-line or in pregnant women Complications Disseminated disease Prognosis [step2.medbullets.com]

Prognosis Typically, in otherwise healthy people with superficial candidiasis, a properly treated infection goes away without leaving permanent damage. [drugs.com]

A decreasing titer indicates a good prognosis, while an increasing titer has a poor prognosis. When you consider Cryptococcosis, think of Capsules and CNS disease. [microbiologybook.org]

Etiology

However, it was not until 1954 that the Eighth Botanical Congress officially endorsed the binomial Candida albicans as the nomen conservandum formally ending the 200 year long uncertainty over the etiology and taxonomy of Candida. [antimicrobe.org]

The authors discuss the unusual site of the disease and the singular clinical features related to the fungal etiology and put forward considerations on the pathogenic role of common microorganisms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Failure to recognize the role of C albicans in the etiology of skin lesions may lead to [jamanetwork.com]

Epidemiology

The efficacy of antifungal treatment against candidiasis has been evaluated and discussed in the context of large epidemiological studies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The reasons for applying epidemiological cutoff values were twofold. [doi.org]

A compilation of fluconazole MIC ranges and epidemiological cutoff values for Candida species is presented in Table 1. Table 1. Fluconazole MIC ranges and epidemiological cutoff values for Candida species. [frontiersin.org]

Pathophysiology

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to assess the growth rate of C. albicans (CA) in the presence of different concentrations of glucose and fructose, two of the main pathophysiologic and nutritionally relevant sugars in diabetic patients, in order [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology Candida species are yeastlike fungi that can form true hyphae and pseudohyphae. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention

This review provides an overview on predisposition factors, prevention and diagnosis of candidiasis, highlighting alternative approaches for candidiasis treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention In some high-risk patients, anti-fungal agents may be used prophylactically to prevent infections. [solutionsdesignedforhealthcare.com]

[…] from developing and to prevent the spread of these infections. [cdc.gov]
