Oral thrush is a fungal infection of the mouth. It is not contagious and is usually successfully treated with antifungal medication. It is also called oral candidosis (or candiasis) because it is caused by a group of yeasts called Candida.
Oral thrush is also known as oral candidiasis from the yeast-like fungal organism, Candida albicans, that is causing the infection (although other related Candida species may be involved). Candida albicans is the same fungus that causes vaginal yeast infections in women and diaper rash in infants.
