👉 Saccharomycosis, also known as silicosis, is a fungal infection caused by the fungus Candida glabrata. It is characterized by a thickened skin and mucous membrane that covers the mouth and throat, known as the "sac". The fungus grows in the mouth and throat, causing a condition called silicosis. This infection can be severe if left untreated, leading to respiratory problems such as asthma, bronchitis, or pneumonia.
