Background:
Design of an illustration of oral candidiasis, also known as “oral thrush”. This is a fungal infection of the oral cavity caused by yeasts (Candida yeasts). The trigger is usually “Candida albicans”. Such a fungal infection is usually harmless and often occurs as a side effect of illnesses or medical treatments that have weakened the immune system.
Project description:
The illustration shows a tongue in the lower jaw in a top view. The plaque on the tongue has been removed using a wooden spatula, revealing the characteristic inflamed areas underneath.
The illustration is used in the publication “Pathophysiological microenvironments in oral candidiasis” to illustrate the disease.
