Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of candidiasis and yeast infections. Candida is the scientific name for yeast. It is a fungus that lives nearly everywhere, including in the body. Usually, the immune system keeps yeast under control. It can multiply and cause an infection when people are sick or are taking antibiotics. Yeast infections affect different parts of the body in different ways: Thrush is a yeast infection that causes white patches in your mouth. Esophagitis is thrush that spreads to your esophagus, the tube that takes food from your mouth to your stomach. Esophagitis can make it hard or painful to swallow. Women can get vaginal yeast infections, causing itchiness, pain and discharge. Yeast infections of the skin cause itching and rashes. Yeast infections in your bloodstream can be life-threatening. Antifungal medicines eliminate yeast infections in most people. If you have a weak immune system, treatment might be more hard. For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as quick, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others.
