摘要：

A review is presented of the emerging problem of resistant and chronic vaginitis due to Candida glabrata. Although accurate numbers are lacking, several investigators report encountering increased numbers of women with vaginitis due to C. glabrata. Possible reasons for this apparent increase are discussed. Risk factors and clinical manifestations of symptomatic C. glabrata vaginitis differ from those of C, albicans, C. glabrata being less susceptible to fungistatic azole agents is more difficult to eradicate. Successful management of chronic C. glabrata vaginitis constitutes a major challenge with currently available therapeutic agents.
