This is a typical picture of candida infection of the throat (or known as oral thrush).
Notice:
-small patches of whitish-yellow exudate on the palate, dorsum of tangue, pharynx and mucosa. (fungus growth)
-reddish patches surrounding the fungus growth.
-this is not common in a healthy individual, but often seen in patients with AIDS, severe uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
