OCCURRENCE OF VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS AND PROPHYLACTIC AND CURATIVE ALTERNATIVES (Atena Editora), 2023
Candidiasis is one of the main vulvovaginitis in women of reproductive age, with greater occurrence during the gestational period. Classification of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis occurs when there are at least four specific episodes in a year or at least three episodes not related to the use of antibiotics during the same period. This study sought to address recurrent vaginal candidiasis, also exploring the socioeconomic context of the population and the individual characteristics of each woman, as well as the ideal medication for each condition.

To evaluate the frequency of yeast, bacteria or protozoa in pregnant women and to correlate the possible associations of these microorganisms and their relationships with vulvovaginitis (VV) and cervicitis. Vaginal specimens were collected and prepared for smears in microscope slides for the evaluation of yeast, Trichomonas vaginalis and bacteria. Samples were cultured in specific culture medium. Cervical specimens were used to investigate the presence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma spp. and Mycoplasma hominis. We enrolled 210 pregnant women, aged 10-42 years old. Of them, 38.1% were symptomatic. Symptoms were most prevalent in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy coincident with a major prevalence of microorganisms. In this study, 39.5% of pregnant women had normal microbial biota and symptoms of VV due to non-infectious causes were observed (6.2%). The occurrence of vulvovaginal candidiasis was 25% and Candida albicans with a prevalence of 80.7% was the dominant species (P = 0.005) while non-albicans Candida species and other yeast were more common in asymptomatic ones (P = 0.0038). The frequency of bacterial vaginosis, T. vaginalis, C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae were 18.1%, 1.4, 1.4% and 0.5% respectively.

Objective: identify the vaginal colonizing Candida species and VVC species, predisposing factors and susceptibility against fluconazole in pregnant women attending gynecological outpatient of a maternal clinic in Cartagena (Colombia). Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common infection that affects a large proportion of women of childbearing age. It is estimated that about 75% of healthy women have had at least one episode of VVC in her life. Vaginal colonization by Candida spp. can vary from 10 to 17% and this is increased by 35% during pregnancy. The epidemiological behavior of Candida in VVC tends to be variable and this will depend on the level of vaginal estrogens, conditions of immunosuppression or chronicity of the process. Materials and Methods: the laboratory study included the direct examination of vaginal swabs, by fresh and differential staining of smears and cultures. The isolated species were identified by phenotypic tests and by multiplex PCR and CLSI M27-A3 microdilution method was used to evaluate susceptibility to fluconazole. Results: the frequent clinical diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis, did not correspond with the laboratory diagnosis in which predominated the intermediate biota. The results showed Candida albicans as the most common isolated species, followed by Candida tropicalis and Candida krusei. Candida colonization occurred in 71.4% and 28.6% of the population was diagnosed with vaginal candidiasis. All isolates were susceptible to fluconazole. Conclusion: The most common factors for colonization were related to clothing and for vaginal candidiasis to the use of vaginal lubricants.

BACKGROUND The prevalence of Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) and candidiasis is high in Indian women in the reproductive age groups. Poor menstrual hygiene management (MHM) practices and low socio-demographic features are the major risk factors associated with BV and candidiasis. The aim of the study was to access the MHM practices in association with BV and Candida infection in the population of western Odisha. METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out in the outpatient department of O & G, VIMSAR, Burla, Odisha, from December 2016 to November 2018. Vaginal swabs were collected from the posterior vaginal fornix for analysis. BV was diagnosed by using Nugent's laboratory diagnostic criteria and identification of Candida was done by Albi Quick TM rapid test. A pre-coded questionnaire was used to collect demographic, clinical, and behavioural (MHM practices) features from the study participants. All data were double-entered into Epi Info 7 software and analysed using Stata 11.0. RESULTS In 352 women, the prevalence of BV and candidiasis was found in 38.92% (137/352) and 32.67% (115/352) of women respectively. Women were divided into three groups on the basis of age i.e. 18-25 years: 87 (24.72%); 26-35 years: 194 (55.11%); and 36-45 years: 71 (20.17%). Both BV and candidiasis were significantly high in women of 36-45 years age group compared to 18-25 years age group (p<0.05). Women of 36-45 years age group had more number of cases with low education (19.72%), housewife (67.61%), and living in rural villages (61.97%) compared to younger women (p<0.05). Regarding MHM practices, women in the higher age groups used more reusable cloths as absorbent materials (p<0.002), changed absorbent material less frequently (p=0.042) and changed their absorbents somewhere other than in a toilet facility (p<0.018) compared to younger women. CONCLUSIONS The higher prevalence of BV and candidiasis in higher age groups of women may be due to the poor MHM practices, lack of higher education and other low sociodemographic conditions compared to younger age women. An increased awareness for MHM practices is important to combat the associated morbidities related to BV and candidiasis.

International Archives of Medicine, 2015
Introduction: The species of the genus Candida are part of the microbiota of mucosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal tract and genital, healthy. In favorable conditions can proliferate and unleash infectious processes, such as vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), and even oropharyngeal and systemic infections. Objective: Tracing the profile of women met on a gynecology outpatient clinic of a city of the remote hinterland of Paraiba and identifying the presence of possible risk factors for vaginal candidiasis. Method: The study is of exploratory, descriptive, quantitative type, conducted at the Health Center Frei Damião, Patos-PB, having as data source a structured guide to characterizing the socioeconomic profile and possible risk factors for candidiasis in patients symptomatic and asymptomatic. A speculating gynecological examination was conducted to collect vaginal secretion, and subsequently, verify the presence of Candida by culture in Sabouraud Agar. In the data process was used the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences-SPSS, in order to provide the descriptive statistics and analytical, applying the Chi-square test (X 2) and the Fisher Exact Test. The research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the
Vulvovaginal candidiasis in Mato Grosso, Brazil: pregnancy status, causative species and drugs tests
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2011
Causative agent in majority of VVC is Candida albicans, but infection due to non-C. albicans is common. Use of empiric antifungal therapy in Brazil due to syndromic management of vulvovaginitis could act as risk factor for increase resistance among VVC causative agents. From Mato Grosso patients, 160 with cultureproved among 404 women who had clinical symptoms of VVC, were enrolled in this study. 70 non-pregnant women and 90 pregnant women were included. Candida albicans was the most prevalent, representing 72.9% in the non-pregnant group and 92.3% in the pregnant group. Differences in species distribution were noted between the two groups, being C. parapsilosis the second more prevalent species among non-pregnant women. Susceptibility testing revealed high susceptibility to fluconazole (except for C. krusei), itraconazole, ketoconazole, and amphotericin B regardless the species (C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, C. krusei) analyzed.

Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) is caused by the overgrowth of yeasts, mainly Candida albicans. Their prevalence is consequent on some known environmental and human behaviors including; intercourse frequency, menstrual protection methods, direction of vaginal wiping after sex, toilet type, toilet paper used, recent antibiotic use, underwear fabric, tight clothing and birth control methods. These behaviors are often neglected. The current study examines these factors and their relationship with Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) among Single and Married Women attending Heritage Polytechnic Health Centre, Eket. The prevalence of VVC was 63.3% with occurrence rate of VVC among married, single, pregnant and 20-34 age group, as 31.9%, 31.4%, 40.4% and 53.1%, respectively. The occurrence of VVC was positively associated with menstrual protection methods, direction of vaginal wiping after sex, toilet type, toilet paper used, recent antibiotic use, underwear fabric, birth control methods and tight clothing. There was no signifi cant association between VVC and intercourse frequency among singles. Risk factor like toilet users, had no association with VVC among singles but had some level of association (p<0.05) among the married. In conclusion, the high prevalence of vaginal candidiasis among women with genital infections shows there is a need for training of health laboratory workers in antenatal, STD, outpatient and family planning clinics on pH determination in order to improve the early detection of an alteration around the vaginal environment which may lead to VVC.
