  • Title: Candida lusitaniae as an unusual cause of recurrent vaginitis and its successful treatment with intravaginal boric acid.
    Author: Silverman NS, Morgan M, Nichols WS.
    Journal: Infect Dis Obstet Gynecol; 2001; 9(4):245-7. PubMed ID: 11916183.
    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.
