Candidiasis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Symptoms of superficial candidiasis correspond to the site of infection:
❑skin — scaly, erythematous, papular rash, sometimes covered with exudate, appearing below the breast, between fingers, and at the axillae, groin, and umbilicus; in diaper rash, papules at the edges of the rash
❑nails — red, swollen, darkened nail bed; occasionally, purulent discharge and the separation of a pruritic nail from the nail bed
❑oropharyngeal mucosa (thrush) — cream-colored or bluish white curdlike patches of exudate on the tongue, mouth, or pharynx that reveal bloody engorgement when scraped. They may swell, causing respiratory distress in infants, or they may be painful or cause a burning sensation in the throats and mouths of adults. (See Recognizing candidiasis, page 214.)
❑esophageal mucosa — dysphagia, retrosternal pain, regurgitation and, occasionally, scales in the mouth and throat
❑vaginal mucosa — white or yellow discharge, with pruritus and local excoriation; white or gray raised patches on vaginal walls, with local inflammation; dyspareunia.
Systemic infection produces chills; high, spiking fever; hypotension; prostration; myalgias; arthralgias; and a rash. Specific signs and symptoms depend on the site of infection:
❑pulmonary — hemoptysis, cough, fever
❑renal — fever, flank pain, dysuria, hematuria, pyuria, cloudy urine
❑brain — headache, nuchal rigidity, seizures, focal neurologic deficits
❑endocardium — systolic or diastolic murmur, fever, chest pain, embolic phenomena
❑eye — endophthalmitis, blurred vision, orbital or periorbital pain, scotoma, and exudate.

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Chronic candidal infections can affect the skin, mucous membranes, nails, and vagina, usually causing large, circular lesions. These infections seldom produce systemic symptoms but in late stages may be associated with recurrent respiratory tract infections. Other associated conditions include severe viral infections that may precede the onset of endocrinopathy and, sometimes, hepatitis. Involvement of the mouth, nose, and palate may cause speech and eating difficulties.
Symptoms of endocrinopathy are peculiar to the organ involved. Tetany and hypocalcemia are most common and are associated with hypoparathyroidism. Addison’s disease, hypothyroidism, diabetes, and pernicious anemia are also connected with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. Psychiatric disorders are likely because of disfigurement and multiple endocrine aberrations.

Stomatitis and other oral infections:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Acute herpetic stomatitis begins suddenly with mouth pain, malaise, lethargy, anorexia, irritability, and fever, which may persist for 1 to 2 weeks. Gums are swollen and bleed easily, and the mucous membrane is extremely tender.
Papulovesicular ulcers appear in the mouth and throat and eventually become punched-out lesions with reddened areolae. Submaxillary lymphadenitis is common. Pain usually disappears 2 to 4 days before healing of ulcers is complete. If the child with stomatitis sucks his thumb, these lesions spread to the hand.
A patient with aphthous stomatitis typically reports burning, tingling, and slight swelling of the mucous membrane. Single or multiple shallow ulcers with whitish centers and red borders appear and heal at one site and then reappear at another. (See Looking at aphthous stomatitis.)

Candidiasis:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
Superficial candidiasis produces signs and symptoms that correspond to the following sites of infection:
❑ skin: scaly, erythematous, papular rash, sometimes covered with exudate, appearing below the breast, between the fingers, and at the axillae, groin, and umbilicus (With diaper rash, papules appear at the edges of the rash.)
❑ nails: red, swollen, darkened nail bed; occasionally, purulent discharge and the separation of a pruritic nail from the nail bed
❑ oropharyngeal mucosa: cream-colored or bluish white patches of exudate on the tongue, mouth, or pharynx that reveal bloody engorgement when scraped. They may swell, causing respiratory distress in infants. Although they’re only occasionally painful, they cause a burning sensation in the throats and mouths of adults. (See Identifying thrush.)
❑ esophageal mucosa: dysphagia, retrosternal pain, regurgitation and, occasionally, scales in the mouth and throat
❑ vaginal mucosa: white or yellow discharge, with pruritus and local excoriation; white or gray raised patches on vaginal walls, with local inflammation; dyspareunia.
Systemic infection produces chills; high, spiking fever; hypotension; prostration; and occasional rash. Specific signs and symptoms depend on the site of infection:
❑ pulmonary system: hemoptysis, fever, cough
❑ renal system: fever, flank pain, dysuria, hematuria, pyuria
❑ brain: headache, nuchal rigidity, seizures, focal neurologic deficits
❑ endocardium: systolic or diastolic murmur, fever, chest pain, embolic phenomena
❑ eye: endophthalmitis, blurred vision, orbital or periorbital pain, scotoma, exudate.

Stomatitis and other oral infections:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
Acute herpetic stomatitis begins with burning mouth pain. In immunocompromised individuals, reactivation of the herpes simplex virus infection may be frequent and severe. Gums are swollen and bleed easily, and the mucous membranes are extremely tender. Papulovesicular ulcers appear in the mouth and throat and eventually become punched-out lesions with reddened areolae. The small vesicles rupture and form scales. Another common finding is submaxillary lymphadenitis.
Pain usually disappears from 2 to 4 days before healing of ulcers is complete.
A patient with aphthous stomatitis will typically report burning, tingling, and slight swelling of the mucous membrane. Single or multiple, small round ulcers with whitish centers and red borders appear and heal at one site but then appear at another. The painful stage lasts 7 to 10 days, with healing complete in 1 to 3 weeks.
