Description
Abdol Sattar Pagheh and co-authors survey mouth thrush, a fungal infection, among cancer patients on chemotherapy in eastern Iran. Knowing which Candida species circulate in this group helps prevent deeper, dangerous infections. The team sampled the mouths of 140 patients in Birjand, grew the fungi, and confirmed species with a gene-cutting test, then matched infections against patient histories.
About 39 percent of patients tested positive. The albicans family caused nearly two thirds of cases, and blood cancers were the cancer type most often involved. The one clear risk factor was the number of chemotherapy rounds a patient had received. The authors urge preventive steps that grow with treatment length.
