[Oral candidiasis: epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment].
Oral candidiasis, an opportunistic infection increasingly often met, includes many clinical aspects where oral thrush is the best known. The etiology is often iatrogenic but candidiasis also represents the most frequent opportunistic infection in HIV infection. To avoid recurrences, therapy must begin with elimination of factors which have promoted its development. Imidazoles appear to furnish the most effective antifungal therapy.
