Background
Management of recurrent vulvovaginal
candidiasis can be problematic, and
current guidelines are limited by scant
evidence.
Discussion
The wide variation in health
professionals’ management of recurrent
vulvovaginal candidiasis reflects the
difficulty in treating and managing
this condition. The results suggest that
clinicians are ‘tailoring’ treatment to
their patients due to a lack of good
evidence of effective treatments to
guide them.
Results
Of the 160 delegates 66 completed
the survey, providing a response
rate of 41%. The authors found little
adherence to current guidelines – only
50% reported using the recommended
suppression and maintenance
therapy, and only 57% reported using
confirmatory diagnostic testing.
