Overview
Candida vulvovaginitis is caused by many different species of Candida. They are divided into Candida albicans and Candida non-albicans species based on the causative pathogen.
Causes
Common Causes
- Candida albicans: These strains are isolated in 85 to 95% patients with yeast infection.[1]
- Candida non albicans: Candida glabrata is the most common isolated pathogen in this group affecting 10 to 20% of women and is associated with recurrent Candida vulvovaginitis.[2]
Less Common Causes
These are less commonly isolated in patients but is important to identify the species as they are less sensitive to standard azole therapy and cause recurrent infection.[3][4]
