The leading causes or people at risk of getting thrush, according to wikipedia are: * Newborn babies. * Denture users. * Poorly controlled diabetes. * As a side effect of medication, most commonly having taken antibiotics. Inhaled corticosteroids for treatment of lung conditions (e.g, Asthma or COPD) may also result in oral candidiasis which may be reduced by regularly rinsing the mouth with water after taking the medication. * People with poor nutrition, specifically vitamin A, iron and folate deficiencies.
