Abstract

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and cytolytic vaginosis (CV) are gynecological conditions that affect a significant number of women, both with very similar symptoms, being frequently mistaken by one another. In this study we identify some clinical, microbiological, cytological and biochemical differences which play a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment, essencials for a better conduct for women with vaginal discharge complaints.
