BUFFALO, N.Y. — You might call Candida albicans a shape-shifter: As this fungus grows, it can multiply as single, oval-shaped cells called yeast or propagate in an elongated form called hypha, ...

This page lists all known medications that could potentially lead to 'Candida albicans infection' as a side effect. It's important to note that mild side effects are quite common with medications. The ...
