The pathology of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) caused by Candida albicans is associated with a nonprotective inflammatory response and is frequently treated with clotrimazole. We investigated the mechanisms by which clotrimazole resolves VVC. Low levels of clotrimazole, which do not block fungal growth, inhibit expression of a "danger response" transcription factor, c-Fos, block production of proinflammatory cytokines, and inhibit neutrophil infiltration to the site of infection.
外阴阴道假丝酵母菌病(VVC)的病理学与非保护性炎症反应有关,通常用克霉唑治疗。我们研究了克霉唑解决 VVC 的机制。低水平的克霉唑(不会阻止真菌生长)抑制“危险反应”转录因子 c-Fos 的表达,阻断促炎细胞因子的产生,并抑制中性粒细胞浸润感染部位。
