In recent years,
the increased incidence of mycosis in general and candidiasis in particular is
reported in various studies.
Among various
mycotic infections, candidiasis has greatest effect due to its frequency
and the severity of its complications.
Candida spp. can
elicit infections in immunocompetent as well as immunocompromised individuals
but the incidence of candidiasis is more in immunocompromised hosts. Therefore
candidiasis can be rightly called as “disease of diseased”.
