Overview
Oral candidiasis is not common among the general population but is frequently diagnosed in the immunocompromised patients.
Epidemiology and Demographics
- The infection is not very common in the general population.
- It is estimated that between 5% and 7% of infants less than one month old will develop oral candidiasis.
- The prevalence of oral candidiasis among AIDS patients is estimated to be between 9% and 31%, and studies have documented clinical evidence of oral candidiasis in nearly 20% of cancer patients.[1]
- Thrush is the fourth most common cause of nosocomial bloodstream infections.
- The incidence is 8 cases per 100,000 in the general population.
- There is a higher incidence among neonates and African-Americans.[2]
- Oleander (OPC) used to be a common opportunistic infection in HIV-infected persons (prior to the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy HAART).
- Nosocomial disease surveillance is conducted by NNIS in selected hospitals. Active population-based surveillance for candidemia is being conducted in selected U.S. sites.[3]
