Reduced fluconazole susceptibility of Candida albicans isolates in women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis: effects of long-term fluconazole therapy
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 06/17/09
Shahid Z et al. - Fluconazole resistance and resultant failure to control Candida vaginitis (vulvovaginal candidiasis) remains extremely uncommon; however, long-term clinically relevant decrease in fluconazole susceptibility undoubtedly occurs and accompanies prolonged fluconazole chemoprophylaxis. Accordingly, in patients with refractory vaginitis or breakthrough infections due to Candida albicans, in vitro susceptibility testing is essential to optimally manage vaginitis.
