The Different Kinds of Yeast Infections.
When the invasive form of C. albicans infects
the female genital area, the condition is called Vaginitis,
or genital candidiasis.
 Vaginal
yeast infections are so common that 75% of women will have at
least one infection sometime in their lives, and 50% of women
will have more than one. C. albicans likes to live
in warm moist areas, and the vagina certainly qualifies.
However, the female genital area is by no means the only place
where a yeast infection can occur. Yeast infections can also
appear on a man’s penis, in babies as diaper rash, and
as an oral yeast infection, called thrush. (Older adults often
experience thrush infections under their dentures).
Yeast infections can also cause a rash in the underarm area,
on the palms of the hands, under the breasts, on the lower abdomen
and on any other areas of skin where conditions are right for
it. Yeast can also cause nail bed infections.
In patients with severely compromised immune systems, such
as AIDS patients, premature infants, people with leukemia, patients
who have had organ transplants, chemotherapy patients and burn
victims, yeast infections can cause systemic infections by getting
into the blood. When this occurs, 30 to 50% of the infected
patients die as a result.
It appears that hospitalized patients, especially those in
intensive care units, are particularly at risk of contracting
the more virulent types of yeast infections because some strains
of this pathogen have evolved and become drug resistant in the
hospital setting. A patient does not need to be immune-compromised
to be infected by one of these virulent strains of Candida.
It was assumed for many years that all yeast infections result
from our own resident population of yeast, but a scientist in
New Zealand questions this view. Dr.
Jan Schmid, of the Massey University Institute of Molecular
Biosciences found that many hospital infections are caused by
more aggressive strains that invade the body and replace the
Candida that was already there.
These new strains are more virulent and resistant to antifungal
drugs than other strains, and they pose an increasing public
health threat worldwide. The Candida organism in the hospital
environment mutates in response to the use of disinfectants
and anti-fungal chemicals that are used to keep the hospital
environment sterile, and in response to antifungal medications
given to patients.
Fortunately, most yeast infections outside the hospital are
fairly easy to treat, especially if the underlying cause of
the infection is corrected. However, it is important to not
use antifungal medications when they aren’t needed, because
yeast can mutate so quickly into drug-resistant forms. This
makes any future yeast infection much more difficult to treat.

the Web's most popular books on sugar
addiction.
A number of people have asked me for advice about natural
yeast infection remedies to use when nothing seems to work.
I read through many books and articles, and I recommend
Yeast
Infection Away by Crystal McBride. Her information
is well researched, and the instructions are easy to follow. |
