Hi. There is an association ...

According to Ruth Lawrence's text, 1999, BF: A Guide for the Medical
Profession, p. 610, "Invasive candidal infection occurs infrequently,
usually when the individual has other illness, impaired resistance to
infection (HIV, Diabetes mellitus, neutropenia; decreased cell-mediated
immunity in premature infants), and disrupted normal mucosal and skin
bariers and has received antiboitics or corticosteroids."

I would agree with this except for the "rare" part.
