  • Title: Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. Successful treatment with intermittent oral doses of clotrimazole.
    Author: Rockoff AS.
    Journal: Arch Dermatol; 1979 Mar; 115(3):322-3. PubMed ID: 434848.
    Abstract:
    Treatment of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis has included drugs, immunotherapy, and replacement of nutritional and endocrine deficiency. Although amphotericin B is the best known and most commonly used form of treatment, the imidazole antibiotic clotrimazole has shown promise as an effective agent that can be given orally with low toxicity. A 9-year-old girl responded to intermittent clotrimazole therapy with complete and prolonged remission. This form of treatment offers advantages in safety and effectiveness over other therapies for chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.
