Who is most at risk for Invasive Candidiasis?

Among women with vaginal candida, they are most at risk for invasive candidiasis:

•  People with AIDS. As the reader will recall, AIDS affects the efficiency of the immune defenses;
• Those taking immunosuppressive drugs. This is the case, for example, of women who have undergone an organ transplant;
• Those who are undergoing chemotherapy to treat a tumor. Chemotherapeutics have the side effect of reducing the efficiency of the immune system;
• People with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes promotes the proliferation of Candida albicans ;
• Subjects who have to periodically resort to dialysis (the so-called dialysis). This is the case for women with renal insufficiency ;
• Those who, thanks to a certain health condition, must undergo the insertion of a central venous catheter . The central venous catheter is a medical device used in long-term therapies, to administer fluids, drugs and other substances that the human body needs in the presence of certain conditions.
