摘要: Twenty-seven consecutive patients receiving radiation to the head and neck were followed assess risk factors for development of candidiasis. One-third developed oral candidiasis during therapy. Xerostomia was shown correlate with oropharyngeal infection (p = 0.033). The presence use prostheses colonization Candida albicans before therapy 0.011). Alcohol smoking represent by 0.023 p 0.045 respectively). These must be assessed in future studies
