Diagnostic Significance of Microbiological Research Methods for Oral Candidosis in Infants
Keywords:
newborns, oral candidiasis, Candida albicans, bacteriological examination, diagnosisAbstract
The article presents the results of clinical and microbiological research on newborns with oral candidiasis. The frequency of Candida genus fungi detection and their species structure depending on clinical symptoms were evaluated. The high diagnostic significance of the bacteriological method in confirming the diagnosis and determining the degree of colonization of the oral mucosa has been demonstrated.
