Infections yeast

The superficial mycotic infections occur on the surface of, or just below, the skin or nails. Superficial infections include tinea pedis (athlete s foot), tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea corporis (ringworm), onychomycosis (nail fungus), and yeast infections, such as those caused by Candida albicans. Yeast infections or those caused by C. albicans affect women in the vulvovaginal area and can be difficult to control. Women who are at increased risk for vulvovaginal yeast infections are those who have diabetes, are pregnant, or are taking oral contraceptives, antibiotics, or corticosteroids. 

We have developed a system based on SNOW-MED to extract medical information from herbal texts. SNOW-MED is a semantic index that recognizes relationships between groups of words [26], For example, the semantic map for thrush is related to yeast, infection, and microbe. Although this system may eventually allow a potential pharmacological function to be extrapolated, we are currently using the system to simply extract disorders from the text. We have used the Mayo Vocabulary Server to perform this data mining [34, 35].

Ketoconazole remains useful in the treatment of cutaneous and mucous membrane dermatophyte and yeast infections, but it has been replaced by the newer triazoles in the treatment of most serious Candida infections and disseminated mycoses. Ketoconazole is usually effective in the treatment of thrush, but fluconazole is superior to ketoconazole for refractory thrush. Widespread dermatophyte infections on skin surfaces can be treated easily with oral ketoconazole when the use of topical antifungal agents would be impractical. Treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis with topical imidazoles is less expensive. 

Besides the development of novel approaches for a fast bacterial detection and identification, many efforts have also been made for the analysis of yeast cells. For clinical purposes rapid methodologies for the diagnosis of invasive yeast infections, e.g., by Candida species, have yet emerged to advise antifungal drugs or to adjust empirical therapy when resistant species are isolated.

Cranberry enhances the excretion of hippuric acid, a bacteria-fighting chemical. Recent studies support the speculation that eating cranberries or drinking their juice can prevent or fight urinary tract infections. Hippuric acid prevents Escherichia coli (E. coli) from adhering to the urinary tract. Cranberries also contain arbutin, which fights yeast infections. The berries are also used as a urinary deodorant. ... 

Candida is a genus of yeast that when allowed to grow excessively, can lead to a (vaginal) yeast infection. This yeast infection can arise in MCS patients from time to time. Anal itching is also often a sign that there is too much Candida in the intestines. 

In order to prevent a yeast infection, it s recommended that, among other things, you eat as little sugar as possible and maintain an anti —Candida diet. Various resources on the subject can be found online. See www.medicinenet. com/yeast vaginitis/article.htm, www. thecandidadiet. com. 

MCS is characterized by different phases and many different symptoms. Chronic fatigue is a symptom of MCS. It s also common for patients with fibromyalgia and CFS to be chemically sensitive. Chronic exhaustion along with MCS can have many causes small infections in the body, a yeast infection, sensitivity to electro smog, vitamin or mineral deficiency and, of course, chemical sensitivity. If the consistent avoidance of chemical substances does not bring about improvement, it s advisable to start researching other possible causes and to have yourself tested for a possible imbalance in vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
