  • A condition in which candida albicans, a type of yeast, grows out of control in moist skin areas of the body.

Thrush usually affects the mouth (oral thrush); however, rarely, it spreads throughout the entire body. Also called candidiasis or candidosis.
  • Infection of the mucous membranes of the mouth by a fungus of the genus candida. (Dorland, 27th ed)
