Candida albicans grown in dexamethasone (DXM) shows an apparent increase in dry weight. This increase, however, represents an artefact due to entrapment and incorporation of DXM by the yeast. Thus opportunistic infections by C. albicans which are promoted by DXM must be due entirely to effects other than growth enhancement of the organism.
在地塞米松（DXM）中生长的白色念珠菌干重明显增加。然而，这种增加是一种假象，因为酵母会截留并结合DXM。因此，由DXM促进的白色念珠菌机会性感染必定完全归因于除该生物体生长增强之外的其他效应。
