[The treatment of vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy with a single dose of clotrimazole]. 1996

A Dukovski

The author is describing their own clinical experience with the treatment of vaginal candidosis during pregnancy with the application of a single dose clotrimazole 500 mg (Canesten 1) with only one vaginal globule. In 77.5% of the pregnancy women is obtained a perfect result with disappearing of the clinical symptoms (pruritus, increasing bleeding, discomfort during excretion of urine) and negativisation of the microbiological results. The author is making the conclusion, that the treatment with a unique vaginal globule can be useful in light and acute cases of mycotic colpitis in pregnant patients. A recommendation is given for follow-up of the pregnant patients in the last 3-4 weeks of the pregnancy, for a candidosis check-up and prescription of an adequate treatment.
