Response from Dr. Reznik
 Dear Megan: Thrush or oropharyngeal candidiasis is a common oral manifestation of HIV infection and for the most part can easily be managed by topical therapy for mild to moderate infections with agents such as Mycelex troches (clotrimazole) and systemic therapy, such as Diflucan (fluconazole), for moderate to severe infections. Examples of these classifications and further information on these medications can be found on the HIVdent website. Take care and thank you for the kind comments. DR |
