Incidence of Oral Candidiasis, Prevalence of C. Dubliniensis in HIV Patients and In-vitro Azole Susceptibility
Stopped early
Conditions studied: Candidiasis, HIV Infections
In brief
C. dubliniensis has been identified as pathogen in Oropharyngeal Candidiasis(OPC)particularly among HIV patients. Azole therapy is a cornerstone in OPC, but resistance within C. dubliniensis isolates to diflucan is common.This is a prospective collection of biological specimens from oropharyngeal cavity with the purpose of determining the prevalence of C. dubliniensis in HIV/AIDS patients at the Duval County Department of Health Comprehensive care Center. It is hereto proposed an estimation of azole-resistance in these isolates.
