How is Candida Infection Treated

The treatment of the Candidiasis, an infection caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida, varies from one kind of candidal infection to another. The kind of treatment to be administered largely depends on the underlying illness of the patient, the ability of the patient's immune system to resist diseases, and the risk factors for the candidal infection. Identifying the particular group of Candida fungi causing the infection is important before deciding what kind of treatment should be given to the patient.
