Abstract
A model of candidosis in experimental rats was used to study the role of trauma in the aetiology of oral mucosal infections caused by Candida albicans. Standardised thermal trauma was delivered to the dorsum of the tongue of Sprague-Dawley rats and experimental candidosis was induced. Histologically, the site of trauma was invaded by hyphae earlier and more extensively than in control animals, leading to the conclusion that trauma facilitated the establishment of the C. albicans infections.Entities:
