  • Overview

    For affected women, acute vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) brings with it a significant health burden, and the substantial morbidity and poor quality of life associated with recurrent disease (RVVC) requires improved diagnosis, management, and quality of care. Join Dr. Michael Krychman as he dissects the barriers to managing VVC and RVVC and provides insights on diagnosis and management based on guidelines, plus an overview of innovative therapeutic agents. The unique qualities of the current and emerging therapeutic interventions may well represent a significant step forward in how you manage these challenging infections.
