(148,428 posts)7. It's a nasty fungal infection, for sure.
It normally infects people who are already seriously ill, though, or who have impaired immune systems. It's difficult to treat, although there are medications available, but it is very dangerous, since most people with the infection already have serious problems and their bodies can't fight off the infection.
Hospitals and nursing homes are the most likely places to get infected with this Candida species.
