The prognosis depends on the category of disease, as well as the condition of the patient when the infection strikes. Patients who are already suffering from a serious underlying disease are more susceptible

Men can get yeast infections. While its true they are far more common in women, this is due to body structure, they have more places for the infection to hide. The reality is a yeast infection is an overload of bacteria and even men can get them. It just happens to be easier for a man to keep those areas clean so they typically avoid them. Since the early stages of a yeast infection are just a bad smell and possibly an itch, most men will respond by deep cleaning the area and remove the infection without even realizing it was anything more than a heavy sweat and dirt build up.

Fungal blood cultures should be taken for patients suspected of having deep organ candidiasis. Tissue biopsy may be needed for a definitive diagnosis.
