Candida glabrata?: Most yeast vulvovaginitis is caused by Candida albicans, which almost always responds to fluconazole (Diflucan) and related drugs. But a minority of cases are due to C. glabrata, which is resistant. Treatments that often work include vaginal creams or oral forms of itraconazole (Sporanox®), flucytosine (Ancobon®), or nystatin (several brands). Discuss with your doctor.
