“…An opportunistic pathogen and one of leading causes of nosocomial infections, S. aureus is also commonly isolated from the oral cavity of healthy individuals [115,116] as well as from patients with oral infections that are also commonly associated with the presence of C. albicans , such as denture stomatitis [117,118] and angular cheilitis [119,120,121,122]. S. aureus is thought to benefit from the presence of C. albicans.…”

The human oral cavity is normally colonized by a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, Archaea, viruses, and protozoa. Within the different oral microenvironments these organisms are often found as part of highly organized microbial communities termed biofilms, which display consortial behavior. Formation and maintenance of these biofilms are highly dependent on the direct interactions between the different members of the microbiota, as well as on the released factors that influence the surrounding microbial populations. These complex biofilm dynamics influence oral health and disease. In the latest years there has been an increased recognition of the important role that interkingdom interactions, in particular those between fungi and bacteria, play within the oral cavity. Candida spp., and in particular C. albicans, are among the most important fungi colonizing the oral cavity of humans and have been found to participate in these complex microbial oral biofilms. C. albicans has been reported to interact with individual members of the oral bacterial microbiota, leading to either synergistic or antagonistic relationships. In this review we describe some of the better characterized interactions between Candida spp. and oral bacteria.

“…Nystatin has largely been replaced by fluconazole and miconazole for treatment of Candida infections. In nine lip cheilitis lesions, of which seven were associated with Candida spp., miconazole treatment resulted in complete remission in five patients, significant response in two patients and no response in two patients (89). Interestingly, none of the nine patients showed angular cheilitis, but rather persistent erosive lip lesions, of which six had been treated with topical steroids.…”

“…Median rhomboid glossitis is characterized by an area of papillary atrophy that is elliptical or rhomboid in shape, symmetrically placed centrally at the midline of the tongue, anterior to the circumvallate papillae 5 . Oral candidiasis, however, may present many variants of these clinical features 5,6 …”

A group of 23 patients with partial atrophic change of the tongue was examined for candidiasis. All of them reported pain in the tongue on eating hot or spicy food. The intensity of the tongue pain was evaluated before and after treatment using a visual analogue scale. Of the 23 patients, 10 (43.5%) had predisposing factors for candidiasis such as diabetes mellitus and anaemia. In the culture examination, candidal species were isolated in 65.2%, all Candida albicans. Direct cytological examination performed in 10 of the 23 patients revealed fungal pseudohyphae in 8 patients. After antifungal treatment, tongue pain had disappeared or improved markedly in 82.6%. Simultaneously, the filiform papilla of the atrophic site was observed to have begun to regenerate in these patients. Candida infection should be suspected in patients with partial atrophic tongue associated with pain on eating.

Cheilitis as a variation of Candida‐associated lesions

Abstract: Our results suggested that one form of the varieties of Candida-associated lesions might be considered in the case of lip lesion with unknown origin that was persistent and ineffective to the topical steroids treatment.
