A member asked:
Is ringworm & thrush connected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: They're completely unrelated, caused by completely different fungi. However, someone with impaired cell mediated immunity (advanced HIV disease, for example) could be at higher risk for both. However, ringworm is common in people with normal immunity; thrush is not.
