Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (RVVC) Overview
Recurrent
vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is defined as four or more symptomatic
infections within twelve months, primarily driven by Candida albicans. However,
the non-albicans strain Nakaseomyces glabrata (formerly Candida glabrata) is
increasingly implicated, carrying a highly azole-resistant susceptibility
profile. Pathophysiology involves local cell-mediated immune dysregulation,
microbiota imbalances, and fungal biofilm formation. Predisposing factors
include uncontrolled diabetes, elevated estrogen, and antibiotic use. Symptoms
feature intense vulvovaginal pruritus, burning, and thick, curd-like discharge.
Diagnosis mandates vaginal pH testing, microscopy, and fungal cultures with
explicit species identification. Conventional management uses fluconazole
induction followed by six months of weekly maintenance suppression. For females
of non-reproductive potential, the highly selective oral fungal CYP51 inhibitor
oteseconazole represents a landmark approved advance that avoids human CYP
drug-drug interactions. For patients of childbearing potential or those facing
azole-resistant N. glabrata strains, the oral triterpenoid glucan synthase
inhibitor ibrexafungerp provides a vital, non-azole therapeutic mechanism.
Prognosis relies on managing underlying risk factors and tailoring multi-month
suppressive regimen.
