Candida vulvovaginitis is characterized by the appearance of inflammatory changes in the vaginal and vulvar epithelium secondary to infection with Candida species. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the clinical, microbiological, and histopathological aspects of pregnant and non-pregnant patients, symptomatic or asymptomatic in the case of candida vaginitis and to correlate the microscopic aspects with the symptoms before applying the local treatment with Nystatin. The study presents a retrospective analysis of the management of vaginitis in 166 pregnant or non-pregnant patients during 2021-2022. We observed the structure of the Malpighian squamous epithelium without keratinization present on the vaginal mucosa and the structure of the subepithelial connective tissue, which shows increased numerical values of inflammatory and vascular cellularity in the case of candida vaginitis symptomatic compared to asymptomatic ones. We noticed also in the microscopic study that in cases of asymptomatic patients before treatment, the number of inflammatory cells and blood vessels situated immediately under the epithelium was significantly lower compared to their number in symptomatic patients before treatment. Analyzing the results obtained after the administration of the treatment proposed by us, we can say that local Nystatin treatment is beneficial and safe for pregnant and non-pregnant patients and is a good alternative for patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis.
外阴阴道假丝酵母菌病的特征是阴道和外阴上皮的炎症改变,继发于假丝酵母菌属感染。本研究旨在分析和比较妊娠和非妊娠患者、有症状或无症状的假丝酵母菌性阴道炎患者的临床、微生物学和组织病理学方面,并将显微镜下表现与局部应用制霉菌素治疗前的症状相关联。本研究对 2021-2022 年期间 166 例妊娠或非妊娠患者的阴道炎管理进行了回顾性分析。我们观察了阴道黏膜上无角化的复层扁平鳞状上皮结构和上皮下结缔组织结构,在有症状的假丝酵母菌性阴道炎患者中,与无症状患者相比,炎症和血管细胞的数值增加。我们还在显微镜研究中注意到,在治疗前无症状患者中,位于上皮下的炎症细胞和血管数量明显低于治疗前有症状患者。分析我们提出的治疗方案后的结果,我们可以说局部应用制霉菌素治疗对妊娠和非妊娠患者是有益和安全的,是复发性外阴阴道假丝酵母菌病患者的良好替代治疗方法。
