Candidiasis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Symptoms of superficial candidiasis correspond to the site of infection:
❑skin — scaly, erythematous, papular rash, sometimes covered with exudate, appearing below the breast, between fingers, and at the axillae, groin, and umbilicus; in diaper rash, papules at the edges of the rash
❑nails — red, swollen, darkened nail bed; occasionally, purulent discharge and the separation of a pruritic nail from the nail bed
❑oropharyngeal mucosa (thrush) — cream-colored or bluish white curdlike patches of exudate on the tongue, mouth, or pharynx that reveal bloody engorgement when scraped. They may swell, causing respiratory distress in infants, or they may be painful or cause a burning sensation in the throats and mouths of adults. (See Recognizing candidiasis, page 214.)
❑esophageal mucosa — dysphagia, retrosternal pain, regurgitation and, occasionally, scales in the mouth and throat
❑vaginal mucosa — white or yellow discharge, with pruritus and local excoriation; white or gray raised patches on vaginal walls, with local inflammation; dyspareunia.
Systemic infection produces chills; high, spiking fever; hypotension; prostration; myalgias; arthralgias; and a rash. Specific signs and symptoms depend on the site of infection:
❑pulmonary — hemoptysis, cough, fever
❑renal — fever, flank pain, dysuria, hematuria, pyuria, cloudy urine
❑brain — headache, nuchal rigidity, seizures, focal neurologic deficits
❑endocardium — systolic or diastolic murmur, fever, chest pain, embolic phenomena
❑eye — endophthalmitis, blurred vision, orbital or periorbital pain, scotoma, and exudate.

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Chronic candidal infections can affect the skin, mucous membranes, nails, and vagina, usually causing large, circular lesions. These infections seldom produce systemic symptoms but in late stages may be associated with recurrent respiratory tract infections. Other associated conditions include severe viral infections that may precede the onset of endocrinopathy and, sometimes, hepatitis. Involvement of the mouth, nose, and palate may cause speech and eating difficulties.
Symptoms of endocrinopathy are peculiar to the organ involved. Tetany and hypocalcemia are most common and are associated with hypoparathyroidism. Addison’s disease, hypothyroidism, diabetes, and pernicious anemia are also connected with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. Psychiatric disorders are likely because of disfigurement and multiple endocrine aberrations.

❑ vaginal mucosa: white or yellow discharge, with pruritus and local excoriation; white or gray raised patches on vaginal walls, with local inflammation; dyspareunia.

❑ brain: headache, nuchal rigidity, seizures, focal neurologic deficits

Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Penile candidiasis:
Most male partners of women
with yeast infection do not experience any symptoms of the
infection. A transient rash and burning sensation of the penis,
however, have been reported after intercourse if condoms were not
used. These symptoms are usually self-limiting. (Source: excerpt from Vaginitis Due to Vaginal Infections, NIAID Fact Sheet: NIAID)
