CANDIDIASIS PROGNOSIS |
|
|
Vaginal candidiasis
Although most cases of vaginal candidiasis are cured reliably, these
infections can recur. To limit recurrences, women may need to take a
prescription anti-fungal drug such as terconazole (sold as Terazol)
or take other anti-fungal drugs on a preventive basis.
Oral candidiasis
These infections can also recur, sometimes because the infecting
Candida develops resistance to one drug. Therefore, a physician may
need to prescribe a different drug.
Deep organ candidiasis
The prognosis depends on the category of disease as well as on the
condition of the patient when the infection strikes. Patients who
are already suffering from a serious underlying disease are more
susceptible to deep organ candidiasis that speads throughout the
body. |
