Is candidiasis a common secondary infection of bacterial pneumonia?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Oral candidiasis (thrush), or vaginosis is commonly seen in people treated with antibiotics. Both usually resolve with local treatment. Systemic candidiasis does occur in patients recovering from severe sepsis, but is not "common" outside the ICU except in the immune compromised.
