A yeast infection is a common infection caused by a type of fungus called candida albicans. Yeast infections usually happen in warm, moist parts of the body, like the mouth, or vagina. We all have candida in our bodies, but usually it's kept in balance.

For its pathogenicity, its ovoid-shaped budding yeast and parallel-walled true hyphae forms are the most important.
