[The role of various Candida species in oral candidiasis etiology in psoriasis and eczema patients].

Among the factors, contributing to the development of candidiasis in the oral cavity, eczema and psoriasis have great value. The most common type of agent which causes oral candidiasis is fungi C. albicans, but the role of non-albicans species is also sufficient. In order to identify candidiasis, candidiasis carriage and species identification of the causative agent, using clinical and laboratory methods have been examined 222 persons with psoriasis, 110 - with eczema and 93 persons became the control group. Among patients with skin diseases (psoriasis, eczema) incidence of oral candidiasis was significantly higher compared with the control group (p<0.05). No significant differences in the frequency of detection of the representatives of the type, other than C. albicans, have been found. The most frequent causative agents of candidiasis in all investigated groups after C. albicans were C. krusei and C. parapsilosis.
