摘要
Despite therapeutic advances, vulvovaginal candidosis remains a common problem worldwide, affecting an strata of society Understanding of anti-candida host defence mechanisms in the vagina has developed slowly and, despite a growing list of recognised risk factors, a fundamental grasp of pathogenic mechanisms continues to elude us. The absence of rapid, simple, and inexpensive diagnostic tests continues to result in both overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis of vulvovaginal candidosis. I review the epidemiology and pathogenesis-of this infection, and also discuss management strategies.
