Previous research into the inflammatory cell infiltrate of chronic hyperplastic candidosis (CHC) determined that immune response is primarily composed T cells, majority which are helper (CD4+) cells. This present investigation used immunohistochemistry to further delineate in CHC. Cells profiled were those expressing IL-17A cytokine, EBI3 and IL-12A subunits IL-35 FoxP3+ Squamous papilloma (wit...

Candida species are the most common fungal pathogens isolated from the oral cavity. Their oral existence both as a commensal and an opportunist pathogen has intrigued clinicians and scientists for many decades, and recent investigations have revealed many attributes of this fungus contributing to its pathogenicity. In addition, the advent of the human immunodeficiency virus infection and AIDS h...

Clotrimazole and econazole used as treatment for vaginal candidosis are both effective when given for three days. In a single-blind controlled study of 110 women followed for 14 days the efficacy of treatment with clotrimazole and econazole for three days was equal. Eighty-six per cent of the group treated with clotrimazole were mycologically clear at 14 days compared with 90% of those treated ...

A study was conducted to identify and estimate the proportion of patients suffering from gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, and candidosis, both with and without symptoms, seeking care or failing to seek care at all. Samples women in a defined population were studied in antenatal, gynaecology, family planning, and sexually transmitted diseases clinics and in general practice. The incidence rates varie...
