Candidiasis Candidiasis is characterized clinically by raised, white, curdlike plaques that leave a raw, bleeding surface when scraped. Candidiasis often occurs in children with chronic conditions who are on long-term antibiotic therapy as well as those children who are immunosuppressed. The patient may be asymptomatic or may complain of a sore throat if the esophageal tissues are involved. In the newborn, secondary infection may occur. Lesions may be found on any mucosal surface. Topical or systemic antifungal agents are the treatment drugs of choice. (Photo: candidiasis on buccal mucosa)
