Thrush, also known as candidiasis, is a yeast infection that occurs most commonly in the mouth. It is caused by a fungus called Candida albicans ("candida") that occurs naturally in the intestines, vagina and even the skin. The bacteria that reside in the body's moist environments usually keep candida under control.

Candida is often called an "opportunistic" microorganism. This means that it doesn't ordinarily cause disease, but under special conditions, such as a weakened immune system, it becomes pathogenic—capable of causing disease.


Thrush symptoms most often appear in the mouth and sometimes in the throat. Candidiasis causes often painful, slightly raised ulcers or skin lesions that usually look creamy white. Curd-like, bumpy white "cottage cheese" in the mouth and a dry mouth are common oral thrush symptoms.

Candidiasis in the mouth may spread to the esophagus, making swallowing painful or difficult.

Thrush.
My baby got it a few times. It's not a disease--it's treatable with an antifungal. I like gentian violet.
