MONILIASIS; THE USE OF CANDICIDIN VAGINAL OINTMENT FOR TREATMENT.

Candicidin vaginal ointment, 0.14 mg per gm of petrolatum base, was used in the treatment of 25 patients with monilial vaginitis. Ten of these patients were pregnant. All 15 of the non-gravid patients were cured, as proved by repeated cultures, after a maximum of three weeks of therapy. Eight of the 10 gravid patients were cured. Of the two patients with resistant cases, one had severe diabetes and the other had endocervicitis. Of 50 patients treated by insertion of Candeptin vaginal tablets, 42 became free of vaginal moniliasis after one or two 14-day courses of home treatment. All 42 remained free of infection for one month following treatment, as proven by culture. There were no instances of sensitivity to the preparation.

Vaginal cytology; results in 3,000 consecutive women with normal cervices.

Cytologic examination of 9,000 specimens of mucoid material taken from the cervices of 3,000 women who had no clinically observable vaginal abnormality was carried out. Sixteen of them had carcinoma, later proved by tissue examination. In 15 cases the lesion was epidermoid carcinoma of the cervix and in one was adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. Routine use of examination of mucoid specimens easily and painlessly obtained from the vagina should contribute substantially to a lower mortality from pelvic carcinoma.
