Overview

Retrospective study reports evolving patterns of vulvovaginal candidiasis in women, indicating a need for improved management strategies.

Key Points

  • To investigate the prevalence and resistance patterns of Candida species causing vulvovaginal candidiasis in Shanghai over six years.
  • Conducted a six-year retrospective analysis at a tertiary obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Shanghai.
  • Collected data on vaginitis cases due to Candida species.
  • Analyzed antifungal susceptibility patterns, focusing on fluconazole.
  • Candida species accounted for 9.66% of vaginitis cases over six years.
  • C. albicans was the most common species but showed 18.82% fluconazole resistance.
  • Increasing cases of non-albicans Candida, notably C. glabrata, were observed.
