All this talk about candida infections raises what must be a really
naive question in my mind.  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
