When the fungus Candid albicans overgrows it can lead to a systemic yeast infection. Also known as systemic candidiasis it begins by entering the blood stream and from there affecting the urinary tract and liver. There are three levels of infection, occasional, chronic and systemic. When systemic is at its early stage, it is difficult to discover. It will attack all the organs and how severely unwell a person becomes depends on how severe the infection is.

Causes

There is not one obvious cause of this infection. There are factors that come in to play such as eating disorders, low white blood cells(granulocytopenia), a weak immunity, lack of care in the early stages, poor diet, tight clothing, antibiotics, stress, birth control pills and drug taking. The fungus prefers the moist areas of the body such as the mouth, vagina or intestines. It needs to be dealt with as soon as possible as it can spread rapidly and affect the whole body.
