A yeast infection, commonly refers to an infection of the mucous membranes of the genetailia by the fungus Candida albicans. Other species of Candida may be involved but Candida albicans is by far the most common. Because fungus is actually a type of yeast, this infection is often referred to as a yeast infection. Candida albicans infections may occur elsewhere as well, in the mouth it is referred to as oral thrush, in babies it may be seen as diaper rash.
