En las mujeres se presenta también en la vagina. Cuando es oral se manifiesta como algodoncillo en la lengua, en la parte interna de los carrillos, en el paladar y en la garganta; si no se controla puede pasar al esófago dificultando el paso de los alimentos, del esófago puede pasar a todo el sistema digestivo. Algunas veces aparece en el lecho de las uñas, del ombligo y del ano. La candidiasis puede también presentarse en pulmón: Broncocandidiasis, produciendo dolor, fiebre y expectoración; en piel: Dermatocandidiasis, provocando manchas rojizas y violáceas, escamosas con comezón. Dependiendo del lugar donde se presente la candidiasis se diagnóstica por examen clínico, fibroscopía esofágica, rayos "X" y cultivo de pulmón y examen clínico y cultivo de piel.

[Request for] funding to study the distribution and behaviour of a Group I intron found in the 25S rRNA gene of certain strains of Candida albicans [However] a number of the proposed experimental approaches... do not take advantage of information that has been accumulating about this class of self-splicing introns over recent years....

CONT

In vitro genetic analysis of the Tetrahymena self-splicing intron ... We have now developed an in vitro selection and amplification system, and used it to analyse the self-splicing Tetrahymena ribozyme ... A self-splicing intron in the small subunit rRNA gene of Pneumocystis carinii ... Sequence requirements for branch formation in a group II self-splicing intron ... The nrdB gene of bacteriophage T4 codes for the small subunit of ribonucleotide reductase and contains a 598 base pair self-splicing intron which is closely related to other group I introns of T4 and eukaryotes ... Group II and nuclear pre-mRNAs introns share a common splicing pathway involving a lariat intermediate, as well as some primary sequence similarities at the splice junctions. In this work, we analyze the role of the conserved nucleotides at the first and penultimate positions (G1 and A886) of a group II self-splicing intron ... [Source: PASCAL database].
