[Identification and susceptibility against fluconazole and albaconazole of 100 yeasts' strains isolated from vaginal discharge].

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a condition that affects a great number of fertile women. It is considered the second cause of genital infection after vaginosis due to GAM complex. Candida albicans is the most frequent isolated species from vaginal discharge.

Case study: posaconazole treatment of disseminated phaeohyphomycosis due to Exophiala spinifera.

A 41-year-old woman with no known immunosuppression experienced a 12-year period of a relapsing phaeohyphomycosis. Despite administration of multiple courses of therapy with standard antifungals, sustained clinical remission was not achieved. A partial response was seen initially with the combination of itraconazole and flucytosine therapy, but the patient did not respond to subsequent treatment.
