There are many clinical presentations of candidiasis:

1. Classic thrush with white Candida colonies able to be removed with a tongue depressor

2. Angular cheilitis (perlèche), in which red-white painful lesions on the commissures of the mouth result from a loss of occlusal vertical dimension

3. Median rhomboid glossitis represented by a rhomboid or diamond-shaped, flat red patch on the dorsum of the tongue

4. Hyperplastic candidiasis, which cannot be removed with a tongue depressor and looks similar to leukoplakia

5. Inflammatory hyperplasia under an ill-fitting denture

6. Atrophic glossitis, where the Candida has resulted in loss or flattening of the filiform papillae

7. Mucocutaneous candidiasis, which is a severe and more widespread involvement of skin and other mucous membranes

8. Systemic disseminated candidiasis from a candidemia, most often from a central venous line or catheter
