Abstract

A retrospective study was carried out in thirty-seven patients who had recurrent chronic atrophic candidosis (CAC). The factors commonly believed to predispose to CAC were investigated, including corrected whole blood folate, iron saturation, and vitamin B12. The incidence of CAC based on clinical and microbiologic criteria was assessed before and after antifungal therapy and correction of predisposing factors. No significant difference was found. Hence, the role of additional, less well-known predisposing factors in the etiopathology of CAC should be considered when one is treating patients with recurrent, chronic Candida infections.
