A member asked:
Pseudomembraneous candidiasis (oral thrush). what is it? is it cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral Thrush: Although oral thrush can affect anyone, it's more likely to occur in babies and in people who wear dentures, use inhaled corticosteroids or have compromised immune systems. Oral thrush is a minor problem if you're healthy, but if you have a weakened immune system, symptoms of oral thrush may be more severe and difficult to control.
