Species Distribution, Antifungal Susceptibility, and Factors Associated with Recurrence in Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Objective

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common condition in clinical practice, and the absence of standardized diagnostic criteria based solely on clinical findings remains a challenge. This study aimed to evaluate the distribution of Candida species, antifungal susceptibility patterns, recurrence rates, and clinical factors associated with recurrent disease.
