Case description

Whitish yeast colonies which may become confluent, and which may be associated with ulceration. Candidiasis is often asymptomatic, and may be a chance finding of no clinical significance. It can however, be the cause of odynophagia or dysphagia. It is seen commonly in the elderly and patients with immunoparesis or antibiotic therapy. The appearance may be of small white spots, white lines, irregular yellow lines or confluent white or discoloured material.
