| candidate species | <ecology> Any species or subspecies of bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant that is being considered for listing as endangered or threatened but is not yet the subject of a proposed rule. (16 Dec 1997) |
| candidemia | Presence of cells of Candida species in the peripheral blood. Origin: Candida + G. Haima, blood (05 Mar 2000) |
| candidiasis | <gastroenterology, microbiology, oncology> Infection with a fungus of the genus Candida. It is usually a superficial infection of the moist cutaneous areas of the body and is generally caused by Candida albicans, it most commonly involves the skin (dermatocandidiasis), oral mucous membranes (oral candidiasis), respiratory tract (bronchocandidiasis) and vagina (vaginal candidiasis or thrush). Rarely there is a systemic infection or endocarditis. Oral candidiasis: describes a fungal (yeast) infection of the oral cavity due to Candida. It is common in infants, diabetics or those on chemotherapy and is well recognised in patients with HIV infection and AIDS. Oesophageal candidiasis: Infection of the oesophagus by the yeast-like fungus Candidal albicans. Usually occurs in the immunocompromised individual (AIDS or following chemotherapy). Oral candidiasis is a predisposing factor but oesophageal involvement can occur without evidence of infection in the oral cavity. Symptoms include difficulty swallowing, pain on swallowing and oral lesions. Diagnosis is made using endoscopy. Treatment is with antifungal agents such as ketoconazole or fluconazole. Synonym: moniliasis, candidosis, oidiomycosis, blastodendriosis. (16 Dec 1997) |
| candidiasis of oesophagus | <radiology> Findings: long oesophageal segments involved (more common in lower 1/2), 1-2 mm nodular filling defects with linear orientation (plaques), cobble stone: mucosal nodularity in early stage, shaggy, fuzzy, serrated contour (from pseudomembranes, erosions, ulcerations, intramural hemmorhage), narrowed lumen (spasm, pseudomembrane, oedema), intramural diverticulosis, sluggish/absent peristalsis Differential diagnosis: reflux oesophagitis, herpes oesophagitis, acute caustic ingestion, intramural pseudotics, squamous papillomatosis, glycogen acanthosis, Barrett oesophagus, superficial spreading carcinoma, epidermolysis bullosa, varices diagnostic sensitivity: endoscopy (97%), double contrast (88%), single contrast (55%) (12 Dec 1998) |
| candidiasis, chronic mucocutaneous | A clinical syndrome characterised by development, usually in infancy or childhood, of a chronic, often widespread candidiasis of skin, nails, and mucous membranes. It may be secondary to one of the immunodeficiency syndromes, inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, or associated with defects in cell-mediated immunity, endocrine disorders, dental stomatitis, or malignancy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| candidiasis, cutaneous | Candidiasis of the skin manifested as eczema-like lesions of the interdigital spaces, perleche, or chronic paronychia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| candidiasis, oral | Infection of the mucous membranes of the mouth by a fungus of the genus candida. (12 Dec 1998) |
| candidiasis, vulvovaginal | Infection of the vulva and vagina with a fungus of the genus candida. (12 Dec 1998) |
| candidosis | <gastroenterology, microbiology, oncology> Infection with a fungus of the genus Candida. It is usually a superficial infection of the moist cutaneous areas of the body and is generally caused by Candida albicans, it most commonly involves the skin (dermatocandidiasis), oral mucous membranes (oral candidiasis), respiratory tract (bronchocandidiasis) and vagina (vaginal candidiasis or thrush).

| candle | <physics, unit> The SI unit of luminous intensity, 1 lumen per m2; the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 x 1012 hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian (solid angle). Synonym: candle. Abbreviation: cd Origin: L. (05 Mar 2000) |
