Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of livarol used to treat acute vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) in pregnant women. Subjects and methods. Sixty-two pregnant women with VVC were followed up. Thirty-two patients received livarol (a study group) and 30 took pimafucin (a control group). Examinations were made before, 1 week and 2 months after the termination of treatment, and 6 weeks after delivery. The vaginal microflora was examined by microscopic and culture techniques. Results. After 2 months of livarol therapy, the clinical symptoms of VVC completely disappeared and the vaginal microbial environment became normal in 96.9% of the patients in the study group while only 66.7% of the control patients achieved a positive result (p<0.005). Recurrent VVC was observed in 3.1 and 33.3% in the study and control groups, respectively. The timely use of livarol made it possible to avoid the early development of neonatal upper airway diseases; and no recurrences — just 2 months after delivery — enabled the use of coils. Conclusion. Livarol is effective and safe for the treatment of VVC in pregnant women.
