The Information You Need to Understand Male and Female Yeast Infections

Compromised Immune Systems and Candida Infections

Yeast infections caused by Candida albicans yeast can be quite dangerous in patients with compromised immune system.

A weakened immune system can be caused by an HIV infection, or by other illnesses such as leukemia and Lyme disease.

Chemotherapy temporarily damages your immune system. If you have an organ transplant you’ll be taking drugs to repress your immune system.

All these things can make it easier for a yeast infection to take hold. A yeast infection that occurs in a patient with a suppressed immune system can be life-threatening, so you should report any symptoms immediately to your doctor if you have a lowered immune response.
