Abstract

The prevalence and density of yeasts and Candida albicans on the buccal mucosa and dorsum of the tongue have been assessed in 106 children in Crossroads squatter camp, South Africa. They were divided into a malnourished and a control group on the basis of an age/weight chart. No differences were found in yeast prevalence and density in the two groups. However, malnourished children more frequently had a mucosal density of yeasts, and particularly C. albicans, exceeding the upper limit normally found in health, in the absence of clinical infection. Some evidence was found to suggest that yeast density might be influenced by sex as well as nutritional status.
