The Candida mycosis is an infection by Candida albicans and other Candida species. This disease is not initiated by contact of Candida with the normal skin and mucous membranes or by invasion into the healthy host. On the contrary the presence of predisposing factors is important to Candida mycosis. These predisposing factors are considered as an impairment of local and/or general immunity and transform the opportunistically pathogenic character of the fungus into a parasitic one. Thus the host's defence mechanisms alone favour the development of Candida mycosis.
念珠菌病是由白色念珠菌和其他念珠菌属引起的感染。这种疾病并非由念珠菌与正常皮肤和黏膜接触或侵入健康宿主引发。相反，易感因素的存在对念珠菌病很重要。这些易感因素被认为是局部和/或全身免疫力的损害，并将真菌的机会致病性转变为寄生性。因此，仅宿主的防御机制就有利于念珠菌病的发展。
