Vaginal T lymphocyte population kinetics during experimental vaginal candidosis: evidence for a possible role of CD8+ T cells in protection against vaginal candidosis.
Vaginal candidosis represents a significant health problem to women of childbearing age worldwide. It has been postulated that localized T cells play a role in protection against vaginal candidosis. In an attempt to evaluate the role of vaginal T cells in protection against vaginal candidosis, T cell population kinetics was evaluated using an oestrogen-dependent vaginal candidosis murine model....
متن کاملIntermittent local prophylaxis against recurrent vaginal candidosis.
Women with recurrent vaginal candidosis were treated until the infection cleared and were then given one clotrimazole 500 mg vaginal tablet a month or an identical placebo as prophylaxis. Of 21 women who received placebo, 16 developed symptoms or signs within three months, compared with nine of 17 women given active treatment. Women who relapsed were treated and then given active prophylaxis on...
متن کاملPersistence of miconazole in vaginal secretions after single applications. Implications for the treatment of vaginal candidosis.
In vaginal secretions from 16 healthy women aged between 20 and 27 years miconazole persisted in biodetectable concentrations for at least 48 hours after insertion of a single miconazole vaginal pessary. This finding casts doubt on cure rates in vaginal candidosis determined soon after the end of treatment and suggests that current treatment courses with imidazole antifungal agents may be longe...
متن کاملEstrogen-dependent induction of persistent vaginal candidosis in naïve mice.
The capacity of estrogen to induce vaginal candidosis (VC) in the absence of previous or concurrent Candida albicans infections was examined. Adult female Balb/c mice were evaluated for vaginal C. albicans burden, C. albicans-specific delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses and vaginal lymphocyte population kinetics at several time-points while receiving weekly injections of 0.5 mg estrog...
متن کاملInfluence of gestogenic contraceptive pills on vaginal candidosis.
The use of antiovulatory contraceptive pills has increased rapidly in recent years and the World Health Organisation estimates that they are being taken by more than 20 million women throughout the world. In Britain, the Committee on the Safety of Drugs has stated that contraceptive pills are employed by over a million and a half women at the present time. The increasing use of these preparatio...
