The two most common syndromes are mucocutaneous candidiasis (e.g., oropharyngeal candidiasis or thrush, esophagitis and vaginitis) and invasive or deep organ candidiasis (e.g., candidemia, chronic disseminated or hepatosplenic candidiasis, endocarditis, etc.). In most patients, candidiasis is an opportunistic disease.

Secondly, the pathogen of this disease is Candida, which not only widely exists in nature, but also parasitizes on normal human skin, oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, anus and vaginal mucosa without disease.
