- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoCandidiasis vulvovaginal recurrente en edad fértil: revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Guzman Freire, Sharon Leonela; Flores Barrera, German Emilio; 0928647619Background: Candidal vulvovaginitis is a common pathology in women of fertile age, occurring at least once in their lifetime, with a prevalence of 75% and a recurrence rate of 50%. Only 8 - 10% meet the criteria for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), defined as three or more infections per year associated with risk factors such as comorbidities, chronic diseases (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus), immunocompromised patients (HIV), contraceptive use, stress, among others. The species causing infection, according to their frequency, are Candida Albicans (44.7%), Parapsilosis (29.1%), Glabrata (11.5%), Tropicalis (8.2%), Krusei (1.9%), and other species (4.6%). Objective: To find the best available evidence on diagnosing and managing recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis in fertile-age women. Methodology: A non-experimental systematic review is presented based on an analysis of scientific articles with solid evidence regarding the diagnostic criteria and management of vulvovaginal candidiasis in fertile-age women. Thus, a search was conducted in databases such as PubMed, Elsevier, Scopus, and SciELO, employing descriptors as keywords in English and Spanish, with Boolean operators AND and OR to optimize results. The details of the gathered information are shown in the PRISMA flowchart. The studies and articles are analyzed in a chart, specifying the topic, author, year, objective, study method, and results.
