[Indication for and effectiveness of fluconazole in oral candidiasis]. / Indikation und Wirksamkeit von Fluconazol bei der oralen Candidose.

ABSTRACT

From 1991 until 1993 we used fluconazole in 56 cases of oral candidosis which could not be managed by local therapy only. In seven cases there was no clinical improvement. A mycological cure was seen in 44 cases. In cases of oral candidosis which do not respond to local therapy fluconazole has proven a success especially in the follow up of patients with oral cancer and in cases of oral precancerous lesions with mycotic colonization.
