afta


Explanation:
Dependendo do caso são chamadas estomatites.
Creio que não falamos aftas orais infecciosas, para nós seriam apenas aftas ou estomatites.

Veja o que o Houaiss diz:
AFTA
substantivo feminino
Rubrica: medicina.
pequena ulceração superficial dolorosa, observada ger. na mucosa bucal e mais raramente na mucosa genital, de causa desconhecida, com recidivas atribuídas a vírus ou fungos, desequilíbrio hormonal, problemas alimentares ou estresse, podendo apresentar-se isolada ou associada a doenças sistêmicas
Obs.: cf. estomatite

  -> Muito obrigada, Marcelo.
neutral  Dora Matos: Afta (úlcera da mucosa oral por vírus, fungos, auto-imune, etc.) é um dos sintomas de estomatite (predominante na estomatite aftosa) e não o nome dado a infecção. Neste caso, a inf. é claramente causada por fungos, uma vez que é tratada com fluconazol.

neutral  Heloísa Ferdinandt: São várias as causas de afta, os fungos são uma delas.

  -> Certamente, mas "thrush" são fungos, sem nenhuma dúvida. Nem toda afta é causada por fungos. Há aquelas de origem puramente gástrica.

sapinhos (/candidíase oral) (/monilíase oral)


Explanation:
oral thrush - ié um tipo de enfermidade bucal causada por fungos.

Thrush is an infection caused by a yeast germ called Candida. The mouth is a common site where Candida causes infection. This is called oral thrush. Other common sites for thrush to develop are the vagina, nappy area, and nail folds.
http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/27000369/

As candidíases bucais (também chamadas sapinhos) que ocorrem em crianças são causadas por uma deficiência imunológica, bem como por outros fatores tais como má higiene bucal e esterilização inadequada dos utensílios utilizados pelas mesmas, que potencializam a ocorrência dessa infecção fúngica.
http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1676...

Oral thrush refers to temporary candidiasis in the mouths of babies, whilst if occurring in the mouth or throat of adults it may also be termed candidosis or moniliasis.
