What are the causes of oral Candida albicans infection

summary

Oral candidiasis is a special disease. It is caused by fungi. Because of the gradual production of some hormones, the body's immunity has begun to change. Many fungal infections have been reported. Oral candidiasis is a very high incidence rate. Below I say, the cause of oral Candida albicans infection.

What are the causes of oral Candida albicans infection

First, systemic diseases of the host, congenital low immune function (such as thymus atrophy), receiving a large amount of X-ray irradiation, absence of gamma globulinemia, and reticuloendothelial system diseases that affect immune function, such as lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, leukemia, are prone to develop candidiasis.

Second, abnormal serum iron metabolism is considered to be one of the causes of candidiasis, which may be due to the abnormality of enzyme system caused by iron deficiency (iron is a component of enzymes related to cell redox process, such as peroxidase and cytochrome), resulting in the defect of immune function.

Third, endocrine dysfunction, such as hypothyroidism, Addison's disease, pituitary dysfunction, are prone to candidiasis. The lower pH value and higher sugar content on the skin surface of diabetic patients are conducive to the growth and invasion of Candida albicans. It is also believed that the lower content of fatty acids in the keratinized layer of the epidermis of diabetic patients results in the decreased ability of inhibiting fungi.

matters needing attention

In addition to the above factors, there are also other factors, such as some environmental factors and working conditions, which are related. If you work in a high temperature and humid environment, you will easily get sick after a long time, so you should pay attention in advance.
