Management of laryngeal candidiasis: an evidence-based approach for the otolaryngologist

ConclusionLaryngealCandida infection is thought to be a rare condition, with limited available literature. The correct diagnosis is difficult for the otolaryngologist and a high level of suspicion is required. The authors emphasize the need to include this condition into the differential diagnosis in patients with predisposing factors presenting with suspected lesions. In addition, the conservative diagnostic approach with antifungal treatment seems to provide effective outcomes, although comparative clinical studies between diagnostic options are lacking.
