Article Synopsis
- Azoles, mainly used for treating recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), have seen a notable increase in non-yeast infections and azole-resistant cases over a three-year study period in Leeds, UK.*
-
- A total of 5461 vaginal samples were analyzed, revealing that while the proportion of traditional yeast infections declined, non-candida yeast (NCAY) infections rose significantly, especially from 2.8% to 6.8% for one specific NCAY species.*
-
- There was a marked increase in fluconazole-resistant strains, making treatment challenging, with a shift in primary care protocols potentially contributing to this rise in resistance and NCAY prevalence.*
