Candida lusitaniae as an unusual cause of recurrent vaginitis and its successful treatment with intravaginal boric acid

Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology
N S SilvermanW S Nichols

Abstract

Increasing use of short-course antifungal therapies in patients with recurrent vulvovaginitis may enable the emergence of less-common, more resistant yeast strains as vaginal pathogens. We report the case of a patient with chronically symptomatic and repeatedly treated vaginal candidiasis whose infection was attributable to Candida lusitaniae, a previously unreported cause of candidal vaginitis.
