Candida Infection
Sunday, September 17, 2006
Diagnosis of candida infection can often be accomplished by the presence of symptoms alone. To confirm the diagnosis, however, samples of the fungus have to be identified under a microscope. During this test, scrapings or smears of the tissue are taken from skin, nails, oral mucosa, and vaginal mucosa and identified with a low-powered microscopic examination, a process that gives immediate results. Biopsy samples may be taken from deeper lesions. Candida antibody levels in the blood can also be measured.
