What types of Candida albicans infections (candidiasis) exist?
There are three types of infections caused by Candida albicans:
- Thrush: An overgrowth of yeast forms inside of your mouth and throat that appear as white, raised bumps.
- Vaginal yeast infection: Yeast multiplies inside of your vagina and causes infection. Other names for a vaginal yeast infection are “vaginal candidiasis” or “candidal vaginitis.”
- Invasive candidiasis: A severe infection that targets your whole body, specifically your blood, bones, brain and heart.
