The majority of opportunistic oral mucosal fungal infections are due to Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus species. Mucor and Cryptococcus also have a major role in causing oral infections, whereas Geotrichum, Fusarium, Rhodotorula, Saccharomyces and Penicillium marneffei are uncommon pathogens in the oral cavity. The broad spectrum of clinical presentation includes pseudo-membranes, abscesses, ulcers, pustules and extensive tissue necrosis involving bone. This review discusses various uncommon opportunistic fungal infections affecting the oral cavity including their morphology, clinical features and diagnostic methods.
大多数机会性口腔黏膜真菌感染是由白色念珠菌和烟曲霉菌种引起的。毛霉菌和隐球菌在引起口腔感染方面也起主要作用,而地霉属、镰刀菌属、红酵母属、酿酒酵母属和马尔尼菲青霉菌在口腔中是不常见的病原体。广泛的临床表现包括假膜、脓肿、溃疡、脓疱以及累及骨骼的广泛组织坏死。这篇综述讨论了影响口腔的各种不常见机会性真菌感染,包括它们的形态、临床特征和诊断方法。
