Fungal stomatitis
Fungal stomatitis is usually caused by Candida.
An oral fungal infection is invariably seen in patients with risk factors such as:
- immune-suppression
- severe illness
- broad spectrum antibiotic use
Inspection of the mouth will reveal white colonies which may coalesce. Infection may extend to the pharynx and oesophagus, resulting in dysphagia.
