Thrush.

Description
The warm, moist environment of the mouth encourages the growth of this yeastlike fungus. It forms a thick white coating that resembles curdled milk, but cannot be wiped away. This 25-year-old man with AIDS has thrush (oral candidiasis) of the soft palate and oropharynx. This is an opportunistic infection that takes advantage of the patient’s weakened immune system.
