It can generate important infections in healthy and immunodeficient people.</p> <p><strong>Objective</strong>: to characterize <em>Candida</em> in two different pathological conditions such as diabetes, acquired immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).</p> <p><strong>Method</strong>: A systematic review was carried out according to the protocol based on the PRISMA declaration checklist using the following databases: Clinical Key®, Medline®, PubMed®, Scielo® and indexed journals<strong>. </strong></p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: The disease in the which was the highest prevalence of Candida infections was HIV / AIDS, the type of Candida that was found was <em>C. albicans</em>, the type of candidiasis that occurred most frequently in individuals with HIV / AIDS was Pseudomembranous and Erythematous. Diabetes mellitus type II was the most common type of diabetes, the most common type of Candida was <em>C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis</em> and <em>C. krusey</em>, the type of candidiasis that prevailed was erythematous.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: We can conclude that <em>C. albicans</em> is most prevalent among oral diseases in immunocompromised patients and with HIV / AIDS, due to the susceptibility of the organism to certain infections.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p>}, number={1}, journal={Revista Estomatología}, author={Mosquera Cardenas, Helen Jose}, year={2023}, month={May} }
