Prognosis
Clinical course depends on the type of candidiasis and the presence of any associated disorders or precipitating conditions. The course of pseudomembranous candidiasis is usually acute and the associated symptoms are minimal. Erythematous oral candidiasis may be acute or chronic. Patients tolerate repeated episodes of oropharyngeal candidiasis without difficulty, but aggressive treatment is effective in preventing recurrent infections.[54]
