Article Synopsis
- - Vulvovaginal candidosis (VVC) is a prevalent condition among women, but existing diagnostic methods are often inefficient and result in delayed treatment due to the need for specialized training and lengthy processes.
- - A review of 23 studies showed that molecular diagnostic tools, particularly NAAT/PCR assays, have high sensitivity and specificity for VVC compared to traditional methods, while simpler DNA probes have lower sensitivity.
- - Despite the advancements in molecular diagnostics, traditional methods still play an important role, especially in settings with limited resources, and emerging technologies like AI show potential to further enhance diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
