Fungal blood cultures should be taken for patients suspected of having deep organ candidiasis. Tissue biopsy may be required for a definitive diagnosis.
The prognosis depends on the category of disease, as well as the condition of the patient when the infection strikes. Patients who are already suffering from a serious underlying disease are more susceptible
No, thrush is a candidal (yeast) infection of the mucous membranes.

Also known as invasive candidiasis, deep organ candidiasis is a serious systemic infection that can affect the esophagus, heart, blood, liver, spleen, kidneys, eyes, and skin.
There are several symptoms of haemophilia. Among them are adverse reaction to clotting treatment, joint damage, deep internal bleeding, transfusion transmitted infection, and intracranial hemorrhage.
Men can get yeast infections. While its true they are far more common in women, this is due to body structure, they have more places for the infection to hide. The reality is a yeast infection is an overload of bacteria and even men can get them. It just happens to be easier for a man to keep those areas clean so they typically avoid them. Since the early stages of a yeast infection are just a bad smell and possibly an itch, most men will respond by deep cleaning the area and remove the infection without even realizing it was anything more than a heavy sweat and dirt build up.
Yes A yeast infection is an overload of bacteria. It can be transmitted to men. In fact men can develop it on their own as well. With men however it is typically easier to cure as the infected areas are usually not as "hidden" A man may not even realize that what he has is a yeast infection as the early symptoms are generally a bad smell and an itch. If they respond quickly with a thorough cleansing of the area the infection may be gone almost immediately. Unlike with a women where there are far more places for the infection to hide and spread so they may require more targeted deep cleaning or medications.
There are many diagnostic categories of deep organ candidiasis, depending on the tissues involved.
Because hospital-acquired (nosocomial) deep organ candidiasis is on the rise, people need to be made aware of it.
This is a rare complication of a minimally invasive test (biopsy, injection, aspiration, etc.). You should notify your doctor of the infection, and probably go back in to have the infection evaluated. Because the break in your skin is known to extend to an organ or structure deep below, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to clear it up before the infection can track the whole way down.
Patients with granulocytopenia (deficiency of white blood cells) are particularly at risk for deep organ candidiasis.
