Fungal Profile of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis in a Tertiary Care Hospital

INTRODUCTION: . But there is a change in fungal profile. Sabouraud's Dextrose Agar (SDA) is the most common culture medium used where mixed fungal infection may be missed. It can be detected easily by using chromogenic culture medium. AIM: CHROMagar and antifungal susceptibility pattern in patients attending tertiary care hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: spp. were identified by sugar fermentation and assimilation tests and other conventional tests. Antifungal susceptibility tests were performed by the disc diffusion method using fluconazole (25 μg) and voriconazole (1μg) as per the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI - M44-A2) guidelines. RESULTS: spp. were susceptible to voriconazole. CONCLUSION: Candidiasis.
