Candida/Thrush

Candida is a yeastlike fungus that is present in the mouth, intestines, esophagus, throat and genital tract. Under normal circumstances, it inhabits these areas and lives in balance with other bacteria and yeast in the body. However, certain conditions (pregnancy, oral contraceptives, antibiotics, immune deficiency, etc.) can cause it to multiply and trigger an infection in other areas of the body.
