Experimental and Therapeutic Effect of Amphotericin B for Volvo-Vaginal Candidiasis

Abstract

The medical mycology has been progressed remarkably in recent years. Candida can be found rather frequently in vagina. Some of them are only saprophytic, but not infrequently the development of symptoms of vulvo-vaginal candidiasis is observed. We have been studying this subject from various points of view, and have reported the therapeutic effect of various kinds of drugs such as trichomycin and nystatin in vulvovaginal candidiasis.

We are reporting here the results of experimental treatment of vulvo-vaginal candidiasis with amphotericin B (Squibb).
