Yeast infection also known as Candidiasis, is an
infection caused by one of the many species of Candida - members
of the group called Fungi Imperfecti. They exist in several different
forms during their life spans. One form, the oval "yeast"
form, is the basis for the term "yeast infection" that
is sometimes used to describe candidiasis. The same species of
Candida that cause infections are also able to live harmlessly
in places like the mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina. Of all
the species, Candida albicans is the most common cause of candidiasis
in humans.
It usually affects the skin and mucous membranes
(soft, moist areas around body openings, like the mouth and anus).
The illness can take several different forms, each with different
symptoms. The specific form of candidiasis depends on many factors,
including the child's age and general health.
