The disease, called candidiasis, often requires months of hospital stays and is fatal in 29 to 53 percent of patients.

Certain conditions, however, can lead to an overgrowth of this benign organism.The resulting infection is known as candidiasis.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis - known as thrush - is caused by the overgrowth of the fungus candida.

Leaky gut is a more serious consequence of candidiasis, occurring when candida causes the intestinal wall to become permeable and allows partially digested proteins and other toxins to be released into the body.
