Johannesburg, 2014 Introduction Patients with HIV infection frequently encounter oral candidiasis, caused by Candida species. However, factors responsible for Candida colonisation and development of oral candidiasis in these patients are controversial. This study investigated the effect of social and clinical factors on oral Candida colonisation in HIV positive women. In addition, virulence of these organisms during clinical infection, the role of non-albicans Candida and reinfections with C. albicans were investigated. 2015-04-13T09:01:37Z 2015-04-13T09:01:37Z 2014 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10539/17414 en application/pdf
