Background: Candida spp. are intra-oral commensals in 40-60% of human subjects and the precise factors involved development Candidiasis still not clear. The adherence to epithelial cells is one main pathogenic characteristics genus. Studies have shown that there variations capabilities different spp., which may explain why some species colonize mucosal surfaces more frequently than others. aim ...

OBJECTIVES Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a highly lethal, progressively epidemic viral infection characterized by profound impairment of the immune system. Oral manifestations are common in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected AIDS patients, and are usually the first indicator of symptom and disease progression. The main objective of the current study was to compare the pr...

HIV and AIDS patients are susceptible to opportunistic infections. Oral candidiasis or thrush is the primary manifestation of fungal infection in these patients. The objective this literature review was summarize established novel treatment options for oropharyngeal infections HIV/AIDS Azoles polyenes two antifungal drug classes employed oral candidiasis. A conducted on Medline Google Scholar O...

objective(s): candidiasis infection caused by candida albicans has been known as a major problem in patients with immune disorders. the objective of this study was to genotype the c. albicans isolates obtained from oral cavity of patients with positive human immunodeficiency virus (hiv+) with or/and without oropharyngeal candidiasis (opc). materials and methods:a total of 100 c. albicans isolat...

Specialized Candida albicans cell surface proteins called adhesins mediate binding of the fungus to host cells. The mammalian transglutaminase (TG) substrate and adhesin, Hyphal wall protein 1 (Hwp1), is expressed on the hyphal form of C. albicans where it mediates fungal adhesion to epithelial cells. Hwp1 is also required for biofilm formation and mating thus the protein functions in both fung...

The disproportionate increase in oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) compared with systemic and vaginal candidiasis in female patients with AIDS has been a paradox for almost three decades. New data now show that severe OPC develops in Th17-deficient mice, but not Th1-deficient mice, implicating Th17-induced effector molecules in resistance to oral disease. These findings clarify and extend our cur...

The onset of oral candidiasis is accompanied by inflammatory symptoms such as pain in the tongue, edema or tissue damage and lowers the quality of life (QOL) of the patient. In a murine oral candidiasis model, the effects were studied of terpinen-4-ol (T-4-ol), one of the main constituents of tea tree oil, Melaleuca alternifolia, on inflammatory reactions. When immunosuppressed mice were orally...

Abstract: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are through sexual contact, and can manifest in the oral cavity. This study aimed to determine manifestations of STDs. was a literature review using two databases namely Google scholar PubMed. The results obtained six cross-sectional studies. Oral that could occur patients with STD were necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, periodontitis, stoma-titis,...
