Candidosis is a medical condition caused by the overgrowth of Candida fungi in the body, usually in the mouth or genital area. There are several synonyms for candidosis, including candidiasis, thrush, and moniliasis. Candidiasis is the most commonly used synonym for candidosis, while thrush is often used to refer specifically to oral candidiasis.
