Predisposing factors have been identified and include the use of 13 14 36 antibiotics, pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, genetic factors and behavioral factors. 15 37 However, almost 5% of women suffer from recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis 16 For peer review only 17 38 (RVVC), which is commonly defined as four or more episodes of VVC during a period 18 19 39 of a year. The effective treatment of RVVC, with adequate control of the symptoms 20 40 and eradication of the fungus, represents a challenge in daily clinical practice. 21 22 41 Recently, a wide variety of drugs and formulations have been made available and 23 24 42 many different antifungal regimens are used for treatment, some of them with 25 26 43 adverse effects that end up reducing women's adherence to treatment. The lack of 27 44 specific clear criteria for the indication of available antifungal treatment and its 28 29 45 abusive use has contributed to an increase in the antifungal resistance verified in 30 31 46 certain clinical trials. This review aims to assess the efficacy of antifungal agents 32 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 33 47 administered orally or intravaginally for the treatment of RVVC, in order to define 34 48 clinical practices that will impact on the reduction of the morbidity of this pathology 35 36 49 and on the decrease of resistance to the drugs used. 37 38 50 Methods and analysis: A comprehensive search of the following databases will be 39 51 carried out: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, the Cochrane 40 on September 27, 2021 by guest.

Electronic searches will be performed without restriction of 46 55 dates or languages. Two reviewers will independently select trials and extract data 47 48 56 from the original publications. The risk of bias will be assessed according to the 49 50 57 Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. We will perform data synthesis using the Review 51 52 58 Manager (RevMan) software V.5.2.3.

  • Lamisil Versus Clotrimazole in the Treatment of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Received: March 2012, Accepted: October 2012. ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Vaginal candidiasis is a common disease in women during their lifetime and occurs in diabetes patients, during pregnancy and oral contraceptives users. Although several antifungals are routinely used for treatment; however, vaginal candidiasis is a challenge for patients and gynecologists. The aim of the present study was to evaluate terbinafine (Lamisil) on Candida vaginitis versus clotrimazole. Materials and Methods: In the present study women suspected to have vulvovaginal candidiasis were sampled and disease confirmed using direct smear and culture examination from vaginal discharge. Then, patients were randomly divided into two groups, the first group (32 cases) was treated with clotrimazole and the next (25 cases) with Lamisil. All patients were followed-up to three weeks of treatment and therapeutic effects of both antifungal were compared. Results: Our results shows that 12 (37.5%) patients were completely treated with clotrimazole during two weeks and, 6(18.8%) patients did not respond to drugs and were refereed for fluconazole therapy. Fourteen (43.8%) patients showed moderate response and clotrimazole therapy was extended for one more week.

    Editorial | Journal of Gandaki Medical College-Nepal Fungal Infections (Mycoses): Dermatophytoses (Tinea, Ringworm) Reddy KR Professor & Head Microbiology Department Gandaki Medical College & Teaching Hospital, Pokhara, Nepal Medical Mycology, a study of fungal epidemiology, ecology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment in human beings, is a newly recognized discipline of biomedical sciences, advancing rapidly. Earlier, the fungi were believed to be mere contaminants, commensals or nonpathogenic agents but now these are commonly recognized as medically relevant organisms causing potentially fatal diseases. The discipline of medical mycology attained recognition as an independent medical speciality in the world sciences in 1910 when French dermatologist Journal of Raymond Jacques Adrien Sabouraud (1864 - 1936) published his seminal treatise Les Teignes. This monumental work was a comprehensive account of most of then GANDAKI known dermatophytes, which is still being referred by the mycologists.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Sertaconazole is a new imidazole fungicide introduced for vulvovaginal candidiasis. It has an azole group with benzothiophene that inhibits biosynthesis of ergosterol and brings about a massive leak of cytoplasm with consequent fungal cell death. The objective of this study is to evaluate clinical efficacy of single-dose vaginal pessary Sertaconazole versus Clotrimazole in uncomplicated vaginal candidiasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients attending gynaecological and obstetric OPD with a clinical diagnosis of vaginal candidiasis are studied. Vaginal swabs are taken for microscopy and gram staining examination from patients. Patients in Group 1 receives single-dose vaginal pessary Sertaconazole 300 mg and subjects in Group 2 single-dose vaginal pessary Clotrimazole 500 mg. Patients are evaluated at the end of 7 days and 28 days for symptomatic relief, side effect and mycological clearance. Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcome will be clinical cure. Secondary outcome is mycological cure. Study Design- A prospective, non-randomised, controlled parallel trial. Setting- PESIMSR, a tertiary referral centre, Kuppam. RESULTS In gynaecological group, 27.3% of people in sertaconazole group and 77.3% patients in clotrimazole group had symptoms at the end of 7 days. At the end of 28 days only 15.8% in sertaconazole group had symptoms, while 55.6% patients had persisting symptoms in clotrimazole group.
