Diagnosis.
To obtain reliable data, it is most expedient to carry out mi-
croscopy of smears in combination with culture methods of
examination. Microscopy is one of the most aff ordable and
simplest methods to detect the fungus, its mycelia and spores.
Application:
Candida treatment should begin by eliminating the causes
that led to the occurrence of the disease. Antibiotics must be
stopped, as should hormonal medication, and metabolism
should be restored. The program should be applied 1-3 times
per day, depending on the severity of the candida lesions. In
mild and moderately severe infections, the program should be
applied for 2-4 weeks, in severe cases: more than a month until
full restoration of the natural microfl ora.
The criteria for cure is the disappearance of clinical symp-
toms and a negative smear microscopy conducted a week after
treatment. Detection of candida by a control after this deadline
requires repetition of the course of therapy for 2 weeks. It is ap-
propriate to conduct laboratory examination before and after
treatment in the same laboratory, using the same diagnostic
tests.
