Article Synopsis
- The study conducted in Romania found that 17% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients developed oral candidiasis, with a significantly higher incidence in those with severe forms of the infection.
- Patients with oral candidiasis were more likely to receive antibiotics and corticosteroids, which increased their risk of developing the condition by 19% and 13%, respectively.
- Respiratory insufficiency was also identified as a major risk factor, increasing the odds of developing oral candidiasis by 4.7 times among affected patients.
