Mycoetiology of Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis and Drug Resistance / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To comprehend the mycoetiology of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis(RVVC),and to analyze the drug resistance of pathogens.METHODS Vaginal secretion samples extracted from the cases which were diagnosed RVVC were inoculated and identified by coloration medium.Susceptibility test was carried out by Rosco scrip diffusion method.RESULTS Totally 178 monilias were isolated from 159 RVVC samples.From them 122(68.5%) were Candida albicans,49(27.5%)C.glabrata.The susceptibility test result of C.albicans was as follows: to amphotericin B(100.0%),clotrimazole(100.0%),mycostatin(99.2%),ketoconazole(KCZ)(99.2%),and miconazole(36.9%).That of non-C.albicans was to mycostatin(100.0%),amphotericin B(98.2%),econazole(96.4%),fluconazole(60.7%),and terbinafine(0).CONCLUSIONS C.albicans and C.glabrata are the main pathogenic fungsi which induce RVVC,non-C.albicans infection is upgraded manifestly,so fungus culture and susceptibility test must be done.Mycostatin,KCZ,and clotrimazole are the first selection for treatment of RVVC.
