Active clinical trials for "Candidiasis"

Purpose/Objectives: To compare wet mount findings for clue cells, yeast, trichomonads and white blood cells per high-power field in self-collected vaginal specimens, compared to clinician-collected specimens, among symptomatic women visiting the San Antonio Metropolitan Health sexually transmitted disease clinic. Research Design/Plan: Prospective, non-randomized, non-blinded trial Methods: Obtain informed consent and specimens from 40 symptomatic adult females (eg abnormal discharge, odor and/or itching). Calculate concordance between clinician- and patient-collected samples using a Wilcoxon Matched-Pair test. Calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the patient-collected wet mount, using the clinician-collected specimens as the "gold standard." Clinical Relevance: A "wet mount," or microscopic examination, is commonly used to diagnose trichomoniasis and yeast in females, and constitutes one diagnostic element for bacterial vaginosis. While patient-collected vaginal swabs are acceptable for nucleic acid probe tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea and nucleic acid probe tests for trichomoniasis little information about patient-collected wet mounts exists in the literature. Self-collection by women before being seen by a clinician can increase the speed and efficiency of the visit. The method is highly acceptable to women. In the investigators' clinic, women routinely collect their own gonorrhea and chlamydia swabs, so adding an additional swab would not be burdensome.

Purpose. Oral chemoprophylaxis has been advocated to reduce the incidence of Candida colonization and infection. However, Candida prophylaxis in intensive care unit (ICU) is still a matter of debate. Methods. Randomized, single-center trial studying single drug (nystatin) versus control in surgical ICU patients. Multiple-site testing for fungi were performed in each patient at ICU admission (T0) and subsequently every 3 days (T3, T6, T9…). The primary evaluation criterion was the time course of colonization index (CI) during ICU stay.

Vaginitis is the most common gynecologic diagnosis in the primary care setting. In approximately 90 percent of affected women, this condition occurs secondary to bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, trichomoniasis or mixed infection. Neo-Penotran Forte is registered for treatment of these most common vaginal infections. Efficacy and safety of this product is already established, and this observational study was designed to learn more about practical use of Neo-Penotran® Forte in real life setting.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the consumption of the one probiotic strain in the prevention of new vaginal candidiasis events in women with recurrent vaginal candidiasis. This is a preliminary study whose purpose is to know if this probiotic is effective in reducing the number of candidiasis events and / or increasing the time between possible relapses in women diagnosed with RVVC.

The low Histatine-5 (HST-5) level of the saliva can lead to vaginal candidiasis. Because HST-5 level in the saliva can effect vaginal Ph, flora and local defence mechanisms. Histatine-5 is secreted in the parotis and submandibular glands. İt riches histidine amino ascid and have antifungal activity. Salivary proteins and their plasma levels were found as similar in the literature.

Non-interventional extension study to investigate VVC recurrence and candida colonization following the P2 acute VVC study

Fluconazole is the first-line agent in the treatment of invasive candidiasis. Studies showed inappropriate drug exposure causes high mortality in critically ill patients. Under-dosing and ineffective fluconazole trough serum concentrations were found in a recent retrospective study. Variability in fluconazole exposure can be easily measured with therapeutic drug monitoring. For patient groups who are at risk for drug underexposure, therapeutic drug monitoring can be valuable regards decreasing mortality.

The purpose of this study is to describe the real world effectiveness of anidulafungin in clinical practice in a large Liver Unit in the United Kingdom.

The objective of this study is to collect the safety and efficacy data of Eraxis IV (anidulafungin) 100 mg according to Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety regulations.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Iocide oral rinse as a treatment for Oral Candidiasis in any patient including but not limited to patients receiving radiation therapy or who have previously received radiation therapy for head and neck cancer, or patients positive for HIV/AIDS or are transplant patients.
