Candidiasis of the oral mucosa, usually the buccal mucosa and tongue, and sometimes the palate, gingivae, and floor of the mouth. It is characterized by white plaques of soft curdlike material that may be stripped off, leaving a raw bleeding surgace. It ussually affects sick or weak infants, individuals in poor health, imunocompromised patients, and less often those who have had treament with antibiotics. Called also mycotic stomatitis acute pseudomembranous candidiasis, and oral candidiasis. Another definition includes the infection of the foot of a horse, with degeneration of the horn and production of a fetid discharge.
