March 2024
Cases of vulvovaginitis caused by genus are exceedingly uncommon, with only a handful of instances having been described for this causative species. This report describes a rare case of vulvovaginitis suspected to be caused by in a 58-year-old woman residing in an urban area of Hanoi city, Vietnam. The patient with a 10-year history of depression and type 2 diabetes mellitus was admitted to the hospital due to vulvar itching and vaginal discharge.

We aimed to investigate the clinical and laboratory findings and assess possible association between these findings in patients with toxocariasis in Vietnam.
Methods: A prospectively study, between October 2017 and June 2019 was performed involving 120 toxocariasis patients at Medic Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Objectives: Human toxocariasis is a widespread zoonosis for which a chemotherapy decision and therapy effectiveness are difficult to determine. We aimed to investigate the kinetic profile of clinical and laboratory findings and treatment outcome of patients with toxocariasis in Vietnam.
Methods: The prospective study was conducted between October 2017 and June 2019.
Introduction: Candida species is the most common cause of invasive fungal infection. With the wide variation in species distribution and antifungal susceptibility of causative agents, local epidemiological profiles are needed to provide effective guidelines for the treatment of invasive candidiasis.
Objective: To find out the species distribution and antifungal susceptibilities of Candida strains isolated from patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) of Vietnam.
Background And Purpose: Burn patients are at a higher risk of infections caused by different organisms. This study aimed to address the prevalence, causative species, and factors related to fungal colonization or infection in patients with acute severe injuries admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a burn hospital in northern Vietnam.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 400 patients in a burn ICU between 2017 and 2019.
Cerebral cysticercosis is the most common parasitic disease of the human nervous system. It is endemic to some tropical countries but has rarely been described in Vietnam. We report three cases of neurocysticercosis in patients from north-west Vietnam presenting with recurrent epileptic seizures.

- This study investigates the prevalence and serotypes of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in the vaginal swabs of pregnant women in Nghe An province, Vietnam, as there have been no prior reports on this in the region.
- Vaginal swabs were collected from 750 pregnant women at a local hospital, and GBS presence was identified through specific culturing and testing methods, revealing a colonization rate of 9.20%.
- The most common serotypes found were III, V, Ia, and VI, with a notable high frequency of serotype VI, indicating some variation from global data on GBS serotypes.
