[Vulvovaginal mycoses-stort-term treatment with Econazole (author's transl)].

The short-term treatment (3 days) of mycologically demonstrated vulvovaginal candidiasis with econazole vaginal suppositories 150 mg was tested in a population of 194 women. Substancial prerequisites for thorough and complete performance of the therapy are high cure rates (93,3%), prompt therapeutic results, minor burden for the patient and good tolerability. In view of the vital danger for the newborn provoked by candidiasis morbidity, this short-term therapy is also indicated for prenatal prophylaxis.
