Abstract

Background: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is one of the most prevalent genital tract diseases in women. The identification of the isolated Candida species is critical for guiding empirical antifungal therapy. Purpose: To determine the Candida species that cause vulvovaginal candidiasis in pregnancy at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, thus providing scientific and therapeutic benefits. Methods:  Pregnant woman receiving antenatal care (ANC) at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Obstetric and Gynecology Outpatient Clinic. Subjects were enrolled in a cross-sectional study during 3 months between March and May 2021. Vaginal swab samples were taken from subjects after informed consent. A specific color change in CHROMagar cultures and VITEK 2 compact were used to identify Candida species. Result: During the study period, 15 pregnant patients were diagnosed with VVC. The majority of the women in the study were pregnant women of sexually active age who complained of a whitish body and genital irritation. There were 18 candida isolates from CHROMagar cultures, with C. non albicans (61.1%) predominating over C. albicans (38.3%). With details, non albicans were C. glabrata (54.4%), C. dubliniensis (36.3%), and C. parapsilosis (18.1%). Conclusion: This study revealed a high prevalence of Candida non-albicans species causing VVC. Culture investigation and identification of Candida are critical to avoid diminished susceptibility to antifungal treatments and recurrence.

However, many of them are still uninformed of this complaint. Education plays an important role in the management of xerosis cutis, such as how to identify and avoid triggering factors and how to break the itch-scratch cycle.

Methods: This observational study involved 71 subjects who met the inclusion criteria of being elderly and were willing to participate in this study. The data were collected using questionnaires. The level of knowledge was assessed before and after the health education around xerosis cutis. Result: Eleven (15.49%) male and 60 (84.51%) female subjects participated in this study. There was a significant difference mean scores between the pre-test and post-test after health education (p= <0.001). The means of total scores of the pre-test and post-test were 11.72 ± 1.475 and 12.58 ± 1.662. The questionnaire consisted of  chapters regarding skin changes in the elderly, risk factors for xerosis cutis, and management of xerosis cutis. A significant difference in score between the pre-test and post-test was found in all the chapters (p=0.046, p=0.002, and p=0.006).
