Glossary for Candida

Medical terms related to Candida or mentioned in this section include:

• AIDS: A term given to HIV patients who have a low CD4 count (below 200) which means that they have low levels of a type of immune cell called T-cells. AIDS patients tend to develop opportunistic infections and cancers. Opportunistic infections are infections that would not normally affect a person with a healthy immune system. The HIV virus is a virus that attacks the body's immune system.
• Candida in pregnancy: Candida in pregnancy is an infection of the vagina caused by the organism Candida Albicans and causing itch, white discharge, discomfort and occasionally slight bleeding of the vaginal mucosa. It is quite common in pregnancy.
