THE diarrhea problem? WHAT diarrhea problem? First, candidal overgrowth is
not a frequent problem during antibiotic therapy, and not all cases of
antibiotic-related diarrhea have anything to do with candida. But a case
of vaginal candidiasis or oral thrush after antibiotic therapy isn't going
to surprise anyone either. That's not what people are disagreeing with.

Oh, really? Where'd you come up with this? You know, it's really
appalling to see you try to comment authoritatively on clinical matters
in a bizarre synthesis from reading reports in the literature.
Bobbing for citations in the research literature isn't medicine.
I hope you're not giving the wrong idea to your medical students.
