Oral mycoses and their treatment.

Mycoses of the mouth and nearby areas can be caused by both yeasts and filamentous fungi. They may appear either independently or as part of a systemic infection. It is typical of many mycoses that they occur as a consequence of local factors operating in the mouth, or in patients debilitated by severe diseases. Yeasts that are part of the normal microbial flora of man, among them especially Candida species, are the most frequent causative agents. Some tropical or semitropical infections may occur in Scandinavia and Finland, but they are rare. Local therapy with antimycotics is often effective in acute infections, whereas some chronic ones may make systemic administration necessary. Some of these infections are treated surgically.
