INTRODUCTION
Candeda: This is a yeast like fungi several of which
cause disease in man about 90% of infection are to candida albicans,
which is normally present in mouth, intestine and veginal it is
responsible for the infection in the sites defense mechanisms (carousal
1990)
Candida abbacies usually appears as oval yeast like cell that
reproduce by budding however in infected areas. Filamentous hyphare plus
pseudolyphae (which consist of elongated yeast cells that remain
attached to each other many also be seen the yeast is easily grown at
250c 40 37 0c on sabouraudis glucose agar and if grown on cor a meal
agar at 250c the organism can produce many characteristic thick walled
chlamydospore Van leeuweuhoed (2 000) candida albicans is measured about
2.5 to 4.0 wm in diameter which can gives rise to pseudomycellun, in
the body it has no sexual form the body it has no sexual form in poor
medic at temperature of 2b0c it produces thick wall and resting cells is
about 7 to 17 m in test positive in maminaliam serum it has the ability
to split urear. it is pathogenic to rabbits. guinea Pig s and with
where it cause abscesses in the kidney when give intran Veroush (Eleke,
2002).
Oral candidacies oral candidacies also called oral thrush)
occurs and most frequently in the new born and is probably acquired
during passage through and infected vagina the yeast appears as a creamy
grade membrane covering the tongue and appears able to produce disease
only because of the absence of their resident normal flora (Prescott et
al; 1994) if thrush has not occurred by the 3rd day of life it is likely
that it will appear but it should occur which will usually disappear
without treatment as other members of the normal flora are acquired
Oral
thrush in order children or Adults may occur as a result of endocrine
disturbance or ceutaninosis (Particularity a deficiency of rib flauin as
a complication of diabeta, as a result of poor oral hyepene or
following the administration of corticosteroides or autibutics oral
thrush also occur in bottle feed infants which the magnification of my
white patches cowering red raw areas of mucous manbrance vanities ,
vagines cendiass is seen most frequents in women with diabetes, milieus
deny pregnamai or following prolonged antibiotic therapy. The prominent
symptom is a yellow, milk, veginals discharge yeast cells and pseudo my
cell can be found on the mucous membrane and such infections may result
in an intense inflammation of the entire ingunal area according to Atlas
199: 13) he state vaginal thrush in pregnant women are susceptible here
with production of whish discharge with a pH below 5.2. Alimentary
candidacies. Alimentary candidacies may follow essentially any of the
predisposing conditions listed for adult oral thrush; however the
majority of cases occur as a result of prolonged broad spectrum
antibiotics therapy which destoirys a large part of the normal flora of
the intestine. The organisms may also cause interse inflammation of the
parinal region the region around the arws and may spread to the and
thing coetaneous are systemic candidacies infection of the skin by
Candida usually occurs in those with metabolic disorders in those whose
obesity result in continuously most tools of skin or in persons in whom
part of the body are kept moist under surgical dressings According to
Prescott et al (1999, 18) systemic candidacies is exlvecnely but in
debilitated person or those receiving immuno suppresure drugs sandida
albicans can cause urinary trait infection endocarditis and meningitis
chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is also a rare syndrome in which the
skin mucous membranes hair and nails become infected, such infections
appears to occur in persons with T. cell defects manifested by their
inability to respond to Candida certigens, in addition to vaging yeast
infections the acid environment of the veginal and the proliferation of
normal vaginal bacterial limited its growth when the environment of the
vegina changes, situations that change the environment of the birth
control pills. Which often change the vaginal pH or taking bread
spectrum cutibioties such as tertiary cline which kills the normal
vaginal bacteria in addition, patients with Aids of uncontrolled
eddiabetes often develop yeast infections.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]In thus work the incidence of candidacies was studied using selected patients of university of Nigeria teaching hospital Enugu analyzed for the presence of candidacies yeast infection. The specimens were cultured on seaboards agar and blood agar and subculture isolated were C aibicans C Tropical C Knusei C Pseudoizo P cals C paraknusei and C stellatoides. The prevalence of candidacies among patients of UNTH was monitored in terms of level of occurrence and microbial types. Also the prevalence of ... Continue reading---
