Vaginal microbiota of women with frequent vulvovaginal candidiasis.
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is an insidious infection that afflicts a large proportion of women of all ages, and 5 to 8% of affected women experience recurrent VVC (RVVC). The aim of this study was to explore the possible importance of vaginal bacterial communities in reducing the risk of RVVC. The species composition and diversity of microbial communities were evaluated for 42 women with an...
متن کاملDiverse Vaginal Microbiomes in Reproductive-Age Women with Vulvovaginal Candidiasis
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is one of the most prevalent vaginal infectious diseases, and there are controversial reports regarding the diversity of the associated vaginal microbiota. We determined the vaginal microbial community in patients with VVC, bacterial vaginosis (BV), and mixed infection of VVC and BV using Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA tags. Our results revealed for the first tim...
متن کاملChronic vulvovaginal candidiasis: characteristics of women with Candida albicans, C glabrata and no candida.
INTRODUCTION Although as many as 5% of all women complain of chronic vulvovaginitis, little is known about these women. They may often be misdiagnosed and the role of vaginal yeast culture in diagnosing vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) among them has not been clearly defined. METHODS To address these deficiencies, we tabulated initial diagnoses among new patients and conducted a medical record-...
متن کاملProteinase detection, DNA typing and antimycotic susceptibility of Candida isolates from Colombian women with vulvovaginal candidiasis.
Forty non-pregnant Colombian women (ages 18-45) with vulvovaginal candidiasis diagnosis (VVC) were enrolled in a blinded study to compare the efficacy of Itraconazole (ITRA) 400 mg vs. Fluconazole (FLU) 150 mg. Sexual partners received similar therapy. Proteinase detection by the Staib method and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for FLU and ITRA by Etest method were performed in all Candi...
متن کاملVaginal-associated immunity in women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis: evidence for vaginal Th1-type responses following intravaginal challenge with Candida antigen.
Studies from women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) and from an animal model of experimental vaginitis suggest that deficiencies in immune function should be examined at the local rather than systemic level. Evidence of vaginal cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was evaluated for the first time in cervicovaginal lavage (CVL) fluid from RVVC patients. Results showed that although constit...
