Candida glabrata?: This is an atypical treatment for vaginal yeast infection. A single dose of fluconazole by mouth is the normal treatment and ususally effective. However, about 10-15% of infections are caused by Candida glabrata, which often is resitant to all "azole" drugs -- unlike the more common Candida albicans. Speak with your doctor about a) confirning the diagnosis and b) alternative treatments. Good luck!
