Candidiasis is a fungal infection due to any type of Candida (a type of yeast).
When it affects the mouth, Oral candidiasis
When it affects the vagina, it may be referred to as a yeast infection or thrush.
Signs and symptoms include genital itching, burning, and sometimes a white “cottage cheese-like” discharge from the vagina.
Yeast infections of the penis are less common and typically present with an itchy rash.
Very rarely, yeast infections may become invasive, spreading to other parts of the body.
This may result in fevers along with other symptoms depending on the parts involved.
