title: [Comparison of fluconazole and ketoconazole in the therapy of vaginal candidiasis by administration in two different oral doses].
abstract: The authors examined 20 patients affected by vaginal candidiasis and evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of treatment with Fluconazole in comparison with Ketoconazole, using two different doses of oral administration: Fluconazole, 150 mg in a single dose; Ketoconazole, 400 mg/die for 5 days. There were no significant differences in results; adverse effects were insignificant and the level of efficacy, which was the same in both cases, was high. In conclusion, both molecules are confirmed to be efficacious, although patients showed a preference for the single dose and for only one day of therapy.
