| | Diaper candidiasis is common in infants under unhygienic conditions of chronic moisture and local skin maceration associated with ammonitic irritation due to irregularly changed unclean diapers. | | | For renal candidiasis systemic antifungal therapy with either Amphotericin B [0.3-1.0 mg/kg/day], with or without Flucytosine [150 mg/kg/day] or Fluconazole [200-400 mg/day] has been used, often in combination with local irrigation of the renal pelvis and surgical removal of obstructions. | | | The first step in the management of candidiasis should be to correct the underlying conditions that allow Candida to colonise the skin or mucosa ie to restore the normal epithelial barrier function. |

| | Worryingly, many cases remain untreated as conventional medicine refuses to recognise candidiasis as a serious medical condition, other than in the form of thrush. | | | Even more broadminded doctors, who do recognise the condition, are unlikely to do any more than prescribe an anti-fungal drug, like Nystatin, and possibly an antispasmodic drug, such as Lomotil, to reduce intestinal cramps. | | | As already mentioned, conventional medicine remains sceptical about intestinal candidiasis - with doctors frequently attributing patients' symptoms to hysteria or malingering. |
