Content: Thrush can be treated with: a liquid anti fungal drug called nystatin
miconazole gel or cream
fluconozole
If your first or second treatment doesn't work, you might have swabs to see which treatment the thrush is sensitive to. Women can also get vaginal thrush, which is treated with anti fungal creams or pessaries. Less common fungal infections include: aspergillosis
pneumocystis
Aspergillus can cause a serious chest infection that needs treatment with anti-fungal drugs through a drip. The pneumocystis bug can cause a serious form of pneumonia called PCP. This stands for pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. You might take co-trimoxazole (Septrin) to help prevent or treat it. Protozoal infections
Protozoa are the smallest animals known to man. Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by protozoa.
