Possibilities of local therapy of recurrent candidiasis against the background of mixed vaginal dysbiosis

Abstract

Introduction. The article describes the experience of treating patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidosis combined with mixed vaginal dysbiosis using a variant of complex local therapy with drugs containing sertaconazole nitrate and benzyl-dimethyl-[3-(myristoylamino) propyl] ammonium chloride monohydrate.Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of local therapy in patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidosis with underlying mixed non-specific vaginal dysbiosis.Materials and methods. A prospective open randomized clinical trial to evaluate the outcomes of treatment with drugs containing sertaconazole nitrate at a dose of 300 mg (Flucovag®, vaginal suppositories, two times with an interval of 7 days) and benzyl-dimethyl-[3-(myristoylamino)propyl] ammonium chloride monohydrate at a dose of 15 mg (Miramistin® vaginal suppositories once a day at bedtime for 10 days) in women with mixed nonspecific infectious vaginal diseases with underlying recurrent vulvovaginal candidosis (n = 68) was conducted. Methods: vaginal microbiota evaluation with AmpliPrime® Florocenosis/Bacterial vaginosis-FL PCR (NextBio LLC, Russian Federation), vaginal pH, Hay/Ison scoring criteria, antimycotic sensitivity evaluation against Candida spp. (NCCLS standards).Results and discussion. This kind of local complex therapy in patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidosis combined with mixed vaginal dysbiosis using drugs containing sertaconazole nitrate (Flucovag®) and benzyl-dimethyl[3-(myristoylamino) propyl]ammonium chloride monohydrate (Miramistin®), followed by probiotic contamination showed high clinical (94.1 ± 2.3%) and microbiological (81.9 ± 2.1%) efficacy combined with safety and satisfactory compliance.Conclusion. A comprehensive approach to the treatment of mixed nonspecific vaginal dysbiosis with underlying recurrent vulvovaginal candidosis showed high clinical efficacy and satisfactory compliance.
