Thrush is a fungal infection that occurs in the mouth or on the genitals. The culprit is the Candida fungus. It naturally occurs on the human body but begins to multiply excessively during infection.

Thrush is more common in people with compromised immune systems, newborns and older individuals.WebMD: Thrush
