Overview

Oral thrush is an opportunistic infection of the oral cavity. It is caused by the yeast-like fungal organism, Candida albicans. It occurs most often in babies and toddlers, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. A common sign of thrush is the presence of creamy white, slightly raised lesions in your mouth but also sometimes on the roof of your mouth, gums, tonsils, or back of your throat. Oral candidiasis may be diagnosed based on the clinical signs and symptoms. Oral candidiasis can be treated with topical anti-fungal drugs.
