Abstract:

Candida species, one of the most common opportunistic pathogens, is the leading cause of invasive fungal diseases. Risk factors, such as ageing, comorbidity, dystrophia, immunocompromised, mechanical ventilation, using of broad-spectrum antibiotics or glucocorticoids and candida colonization, contribute to candidiasis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, which is commonly in respiratory tract, also involves oropharyngeal or digestive tract infection. We reviewed and summarized the literatures of risk factors of candidiasis in COPD patients, aimed to deepen the understanding of the disease and further guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: Pulmonary disease,chronic obstructive, Candidiasis, Comorbidity, Risk factors
