Candida Monilia Yeast   Candida on Pap smear Candida on wet mount Clinical candida This fungus is occasionally identified on Pap smear and for the most part is an incidental finding, posing no threat to the patient. If the patient is experiencing symptoms (itching, burning, or cheesy discharge), then she should be treated for a yeast infection. If the Pap smear shows a significant abnormality, then it is best to treat the infection and repeat the Pap after allowing for healing (3 months). If the patient is symptom-free and the Pap otherwise normal, then the presence of candida on the Pap smear can be safely ignored.
