Candidiasis is a yeast fungal infection which can affect any part of the body, particularly warm, moist areas such as the vagina, mouth and armpits. Candida is always present on the body and certain physiological factors cause the fungus to flourish and cause infection. There are more than 150 species of Candida including: Candida albicans.Candida tropicalis.Candida glabrata.Candida krusei.Candida parapsilosis.Candida dubliniensis.Candida lusitaniae.

The vast majority of the patients (350/385, 90.9%) underwent antral irrigation. A total of 291 patients (75.6%) had a microbial sample taken, of which 240 (82.5%) showed microbial growth. One sample with growth had on average 1.4 microbial isolates. Seventy of the 342 isolates (20.5%) represented probable oral microbial findings: 24 (7.0%) were aerobes typical for oral microbiota and 44 (12.9%) anaerobes typical for oral microbiota (Table 3). In addition, one Candida albicans and one Candida dubliniensis isolate were considered typical oral microbial findings. Of all patients, including those without microbial samples, 61.6% had aerobic and 11.2% anaerobic microbial findings.

Candida albicans is historically known to be the most prevalent and pathogenic of the species however, new evidence shows a decline in the incidence of C. albicans infection, with a shift towards the emergence of Candida dubliniensis. C. dubliniensis is distributed worldwide and is primarily pathogenic in diseases of the oral cavity [2]. Candida dubliniensis was first described as a novel species in 1995 [3]. It is a chlamydospore and germ tube positive yeast which has recently been primarily exhibited in the oral cavities of HIV/AIDS patients.

Despite Candida being the most common isolate for FEE in HIV negative patients, there is only one published case of Candida albicans FEE in an HIV patient, and one case of Candida dubliniensis.66,67 Candida dubliniensis is the closest known relative of Candida albicans and is less virulent.68 Both patients had severe, prolonged neutropenia as a risk factor for the development of the FEE, and both had good visual outcomes.66,67
