purple	Thrush causes curdlike white patches inside the mouth, especially on the tongue and palate and around the lips. If you try to scrape off this whitish surface, you will usually find a red, inflamed area, which may bleed slightly. There may be cracked, red, moist areas of skin at the corners of the mouth. Sometimes thrush patches are painful, but often they are not. Esophagitis — Candida esophagitis may make swallowing difficult or painful, and it may cause chest pain behind the breastbone (sternum). Cutaneous candidiasis — Cutaneous candidiasis causes patches of red, moist, weepy skin, sometimes with small pustules nearby. Vaginal yeast infections — Vaginal yeast infections may cause the following symptoms: vaginal itch and/or soreness; a thick vaginal discharge with a texture like soft or cottage cheese; a burning discomfort around the vaginal opening, especially if urine touches the area; and pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse. Deep candidiasis — When Candida spreads to the bloodstream, it may cause a wide range of symptoms, from unexplained fever to shock and multiple organ failure. Was this answer helpful to you?

Shopaholic Chick	Candidiasis (Thrush) What is thrush? Thrush is an overgrowth of a yeast (fungus) called "candida." Candida is normally found on the skin, in the stomach, colon, vagina, rectum, mouth, and throat. Candida causes health problems only when there is an overgrowth in one of these areas of the body. The medical name for thrush is candidiasis. Thrush is a common early symptom of HIV disease, usually occurring in the mouth and/or vagina. It can become a serious problem if it is left untreated. People with AIDS can also develop thrush deeper within their bodies, in their windpipe, esophagus (throat) or lungs. People who develop thrush as an early symptom of HIV should talk to their doctor about starting medication to prevent PCP (an AIDS-related pneumonia), even if they have over 200 T-cells. What are the signs and symptoms of thrush? In the mouth, thrush looks like creamy white patches or small red spots on the tongue, roof of the mouth (also called the hard palate), gums or throat. Crusting on the corners of the mouth is also a symptom of thrush. Thrush can make it difficult or painful to swallow and can cause chest pain. It can cause nausea and make your food taste different. Your doctor can usually tell if you have oral thrush by checking your mouth and throat. X-rays or visual examination of your esophagus and stomach with a special instrument called an endoscope may also be necessary for more serious cases. Thrush in the vagina is also called a "yeast infection." The signs of a yeast infection include a thick, cottage-cheese-like vaginal discharge, itching and burning. The vaginal lips (called the labia) may also be red, tender and swollen. Many women get yeast infections, but women with HIV often get yeast infections that keep coming back. (See the Fact Sheet on vaginal thrush.) Can thrush be treated? Yes. For thrush in the mouth or throat, your doctor will probably give you a liquid medication or a tablet that dissolves in your mouth. For thrush in the vagina, your doctor will probably give you a cream or an insert (suppository) that goes inside the vagina. This is called local treatment. If local treatment doesn't work or if the infection is severe, then your doctor might decide to give you pills that treat your whole body. This is called systemic treatment. Most thrush infections go away with proper treatment. How can thrush be prevented? The same medicines used to treat thrush are often used to prevent thrush before it appears. However, excessive use of these drugs can cause the yeast to become resistant to treatment. These drugs can also lead to side effects, like skin rashes or upset stomach. Some drugs used for HIV-related problems, such as Prednisone (a steroid) and certain antibiotics can lead to thrush. You should talk to your doctor about whether taking medicine to prevent thrush is right for you. Also, some changes in diet may help you prevent or reduce thrush. It might help to cut down on dairy products and foods made with sugar or yeast. Some people have found that eating large amounts of Garlic or taking Garlic pills helps. Taking Acidophilus pills or powder may help. Eating yogurt that contains live Acidophilus culture (or applying yogurt directly to the vagina) may help to prevent vaginal thrush. Ask your doctor about the following medicines for treating and preventing thrush: Localized Treatments: • Clotrimazole (Lotrimin and Mycelex vaginal inserts; Mycelex oral lozenges). Lozenges are medicated tablets that dissolve slowly on your tongue • Nystatin (oral lozenges; swish and swallow liquid) • Amphotericin B (Fungizone swish and swallow liquid) • Miconazole (Monistat vaginal inserts) • Terconazole (Terazol vaginal cream and inserts) • butoconazole (Femstat vaginal cream) Systemic treatments for thrush that recurs frequently or spreads further into the body: • Ketoconazole (Nizoral pills) • Itraconazole (Sporanox) • Fluconazole (Diflucan pills) For life-threatening or drug-resistant thrush infections: • Amphotericin B (Fungizone intravenous; Abelcet injection) • Amphotericin B - liposomal formations (Ambisome, ABLC, Amphocil) Was this answer helpful to you?
