Why the fuck...

[Syxx]

So, friend of mine was asking me_about this.

Why the shit is is called a yeast infection? As Tina Turner would say, what's yeast got to do with it?

[bikuki]

Thrush is a fungal infection (candidiasis). Yeast is probably one of the better known fungi. People are stupid.

.... what is it? And whatever it is, it's probably due to the fact that a simple fungus of the yeasty type is infecting a bodily part.

Here you go. Candida albicans. It's a member of the yeast family, therefore when it infects something it's a yeast infection.

It originates from France, where cases of the disease were most noted in young women who'd been dildoing themselves with crusty baguettes.

Oooh you got there before me, i was quoting you and you got in a sneaky edit! But yeah they are just a type of fungi from the yeast family that cause disease/infection. The majority are opportunistic pathogens (pathogenic to comprimised immune systems) but there are some non-pathogenic yeasts that are implicated in disease.

Brian's answer wins.

People are stupid? fuck sake it was a simple question.

[bikuki]

I was more referring to the fact that if someone has a fungal infection it automatically gets called 'yeast'. I wasn't aware that candidia was a member of the yeast family, though, so my comment was a bit premature.

Thrush is cause by a fungal infection of the Candid species...which is a genus of yeast. How are people stupid?

OK never mind that then.

if ur in a humid environemnet making you sweat a lot, and are on anti-biotics, you could easily get thrush.

the anti-b kill the germs (good ones) that would usually eat the bacteria that cause thrush hehehe
