Single or Multiple Dose Diflucan for VVC? Oral or Topical?

VVC is second to BV in vaginitis type, here in the USA. data indicate that 75% of women have experienced at least one episode of genital candida throughout their lives . VVC is currently classified as uncomplicated (sporadic infection with mild-to-moderate clinical symptoms in non-immunocompromised women) or complicated (recurrent or clinically severe infection that eventually affects immunocompromised women or is caused by non-Albican species). What is the best course of action for these patients? Topical therapy or oral? Single or multiple dosages? In this episode, we will highlight a new publication from the AJOG which was just released ahead of print that looks at this issue. PLUS, we will revisit a 2001 multicenter study on single Diflucan vs sequential dosing every 3 days. As a little bonus, as the AJOG new publication is Italian, we will have sporadic interludes from ITALIA's best! Listen in for details.
