Candidiasis bucal

Nombres alternativos:

Candidosis oral; Estomatitis candidósica

Prevención:

Si la persona presenta brotes frecuentes de candidiasis bucal, el médico le puede recomendar tomar medicamentos antimicóticos regularmente para evitar las infecciones recurrentes.

Si un bebé con candidiasis bucal está lactando, se debe hablar con el médico acerca de las formas apropiadas de prevenir las infecciones futuras, como un medicamento antimicótico. Se debe esterilizar o descartar cualquier chupete. En el caso de los bebés con candidiasis bucal alimentados con biberón, se debe descartar la tetina y comprar unas nuevas a medida que la boca del bebé comienza a curarse.

Para prevenir la diseminación de la infección por VIH, se deben tener prácticas de sexo seguro y las precauciones universales al trabajar con hemoderivados.
