Oral kandidozis: Etiyoloji, klinik özellikler, tanı ve tedavi

Oral kandidozis dişhekimliği pratiğinde en sık karşılaşılan fungal enfeksiyondur. Birçok farklı klinik görünümde ortaya çıkabildiğinden, klinik tanı ve tedavisi genellikle zordur. Hastalık sıklıklasistemik rahatsızlığı olan spesifik hasta gruplarında ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenle, oral kandidozis tedavisi öncelikle predispozisyon yaratan durumların kapsamlı tetkikini içermelidir. Bu derlemede sık karşılaşılan oral kandidal lezyonların etiyolojisi, klinik görünümü, tanı ve tedavi stratejileri kapsamlı bir şekilde gözden geçirilmektedir.

Oral candidosis: aetiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management

Oral candidosis is the most common fungal infection encountered in dental practice. Clinical diagnosis and management of oral candidosis is usually complicated, because it is encountered in a wide variety of clinical presentations. The disease often manifests in specific patient groups that are systemically compromised. Therefore, the management should always cover a thorough investigation of underlying predisposing conditions. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the aetiology, clinical presentations, diagnosis, and management strategies of common oral candidal lesions.
