Thrush infection of the tongue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a fractured tongue infected with Candida sp. fungus (green),known as yeast infection,thrush,or candidiasis. Candida doesn't become a problem until there's a change in the chemistry of the oral cavity that favours candida over the other micro-organisms that are present. These changes can occur as a side-effect of taking antibiotics or drug treatment,such as chemotherapy.These changes can also be caused by certain conditions such as diabetes,drug abuse,malnutrition and as a consequence of immune deficiencies relating to old age or infection such as AIDS.Magnification: x2000,when printed 10cm wide | |
