A member asked:
Can you get thrush or oral hairy leukoplakia just from common ebv or does there have to be a major condition associated that causes it? i'm scared
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unrelated to EBV: Oral thrush, the overgrowth of candida albicans in the mouth, results when the host immune system can’t maintain its natural defense against the fungus always present in small numbers. Normally, the immune system depends on the common oral microorganisms to keep Candida under control. Use of antibiotics, or infection with HIV can result in thrush.
