Candida are nonseptate hyphae that can be highlighted by a periodic acid-Schiff stain or a silver stain. With these stains, the hyphae will be seen on the mucosal surface and also vertically oriented and burrowing through the epithelial layer. Neutrophils are also often seen within the epithelial layer, presumably in response to the Candida. Beneath the basement membrane, a lymphocytic-histiocytic inflammatory infiltrate will be seen.
