Case 1 A 42 year old woman presented with “recurrent vaginal thrush” since the age of 19. [sti.bmj.com]
Our patient presented with these symptoms on multiple occasions and was repeatedly treated empirically with fluconazole with improvement of her symptoms. [cureus.com]
C. glabrata and C. parapsilosis belong to two different Candida clades, presenting differences at genomic and pathogenic level. [ediss.uni-goettingen.de]
The only finding in that study which matches with the present study is that broad spectrum antibiotics at the time of diagnosis acted as important predisposing factors. [atmph.org]
Gastrointestinal
- Abdominal Pain
When symptoms are present, they can include: a burning or painful sensation when urinating an increased need to urinate blood in the urine pelvic or abdominal pain Fungal UTI treatment Treatment is only recommended for people who are showing symptoms. [healthline.com]
[…] day six post laparoscopy, to the same hospital, with worsening abdominal pain, fevers and altered mentation. [gynecology-obstetrics.imedpub.com]
Neurologic
- Confusion
Phylogenetic relationship[edit] The currently assigned genus name of Candida can lead to confusion. [en.wikipedia.org]
Workup
Following laboratory workup, 71 specimens were positive for genus Candida (30.6%). Further speciation showed 32.4% as Candida albicans, 45.07% Candida parapsilosis and 22.53% of Candida glabrata. [ijpmonline.org]
Treatment
Adverse effects Treatment-emergent adverse events were defined as those occurring after receiving the first dose of treatment. [care.diabetesjournals.org]
This treatment was well tolerated in all patients with no or minimal side effects. [sti.bmj.com]
Combined oral contraceptive treatment was therefore discontinued which worsened her AUB/HMB. [cureus.com]
A first-line treatment for vaginal infections may be the use of terconazole 7-day cream. Several courses may be needed. The cure-rate for this treatment is approximately 40%. [en.wikipedia.org]
Next we’ll look at causes, symptoms, and treatment of the most common types of Candida infection. [healthline.com]

Etiology
CONCLUSIONS: The main etiological agent of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis is C. glabrata. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]

[…] species, but only a minority are associated to human candidosis, as 65% of Candida species are unable to grow at a temperature of 37°C thus prevent them from being pathogenic to the human [3-5] and more than 17 different Candida species reported to be etiological [oatext.com]
Epidemiology
Nosocomial Candida glabrata colonization: an epidemiologic study. J Clin Microbiol 1998;36 (2) 421- 426PubMedGoogle Scholar 28. [jamanetwork.com]
We now need to have more studies and more tools; specially molecular tools to study the epidemiology of this emerging pathogen. [atmph.org]

All isolates were susceptible to amphotericin B and MIC of all of them was under the epidemiological cutoff (2μg/ml). [elsevier.es]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology/Complications Abstract OBJECTIVE —A large proportion of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) in diabetes is due to non– albicans Candida species such as C. glabrata and C. tropicalis. [care.diabetesjournals.org]
Prevention
Thus, one key to preventing fungal infections in cancer patients is careful and appropriate use of antifungal drugs. READ FULL ARTICLE From Medical News Today Topics: Cancer [oncologynurseadvisor.com]

Understanding more about the life cycle and transmission routes of C. glabrata could also help to pinpoint new ways to treat or prevent the condition. But Gabaldón's study raises a cautionary note for scientists working in the field. [eurekalert.org]
Some have advised that prescribing these medications should be done more judiciously to prevent increasing resistance [14]. [cureus.com]
