Granulomatous candidiasis (candidal granuloma) is a chronic diffuse inflammatory lesion of the skin caused primarily by a fungus of the genus Candida. It lasts for years. Candida granules are both female and male fungi. The fungus most often affects young people, teenage men and women.
Candidiasis (granulomatous) is observed in patients with defects in the immune system: with HIV, patients with tumors or after organ transplantation, in patients with renal failure who have undergone a course of massive immunosuppressive therapy. Fungal cutaneous tuberculosis, interstitial nonbacterial cystitis, pseudotuberculosis and other chronic lung diseases, severe injuries and frostbite, long-term therapy with glucocorticosteroids contribute to the development of candida.
Granulomatous candidiasis (drug-induced, nonspecific or granulomatous) is a chronic fungal disease that affects the mucous membranes of the mouth and larynx. It may be caused by the fungus Candida albicans, which is one of the most common types of fungi that cause oral disease.
Granulomatous candidiasis chronically manifests itself due to long-term use of medications. When candidiasis develops in the oral cavity, the gums, cheeks, tongue, palate and back of the throat can be affected. Symptoms of this disease include burning, irritation and itching in the mouth, excessive salivation, bad breath, and loss of appetite and weight.
Antifungal drugs such as nystatin, levorin, amphotericin and clotrimazole are used to treat candidiasis. These drugs are used for several weeks and can be prescribed by a doctor after appropriate diagnosis.
Candidiasis can be treated by local treatment of the affected areas and the use of immunomodulators. It is also useful to carry out general improvement of the body, including improving the diet with a high content of B vitamins, as well as eating foods rich in calcium and zinc.
