The answer is inportant to me cause my wife has a really long-term vaginal candida infection that is driving us both nuts. Some of these candida-related postings seem to be talking about candida in the intestine and on the skin and so on. Could someone explain the relationship between these types of full-body infections and plain old long-term vaginal candida. Is vaginal candida perhaps a symptom of a more widespread infection? What are the differences in the therapy appropriate to the two types of infections. Etc. Thanks in advance. -- TomA
