In this episode of EENT101, host Dr. Christina G. Gonzales, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, reviews Oral Candidiasis, a fungal infection of the oral mucosa caused by Candida species—most commonly C. albicans. You’ll learn how to recognize classic presentations like white, curd-like plaques that scrape off to reveal an erythematous base, identify risk factors such as immunosuppression and inhaled corticosteroid use, and review diagnosis and treatment, including topical and systemic antifungal options.
