Vaginal yeasts in the era of "over the counter" antifungals
OBJECTIVE: To establish whether there has been any rise in the prevalence of non-albicans
Candida species isolated from vaginal swabs since the introduction of “over the counter” antifungal
treatments.
METHOD: A retrospective review looking at all positive vaginal yeast isolates collected from
women attending one genitourinary medicine clinic during the 6 year period from 1993 to 1998
inclusive. All positive vaginal yeast isolates were included, regardless of whether or not the
patients were symptomatic. Isolates from HIV positive women were excluded from the analysis.
RESULT: No increase in non-albicans vaginal yeast isolates was shown during the period studied.
The proportion of non-albicans yeasts remained constant at approximately 5% of the total yeasts
isolated. The most common non-albicans yeast isolated was C glabrata.
CONCLUSION: There is no evidence from this study to suggest that the increasing use of “over the
counter” antifungal treatment has selected for atypical, possibly inherently azole resistant, strains
of vaginal yeasts in HIV seronegative women
