Persistent vulvovaginal candidiasis: systemic treatment with oral fluconazole

A Frega et al. Clin Exp Obstet Gynecol. 1994.

Abstract

52 patients affected by persistent vulvovaginal candidiasis underwent systemic therapy with oral Fluconazole at a dose of 150 mg once a week for 3 weeks. 31 (59.61%) patients were cured at the first control after therapy. Of the remaining 21 patients, 4 (7.69%) were lost at follow-up and 17 (32.69%) underwent a second cycle of systemic therapy with complete recovery confirmed at the further controls. The overall percentage of recoveries was equal to 92.30%. The results suggest that Fluconazole is very effective in mycotic vulvovaginitis with irrelevant side effects.
