originally termed “acute Candida
vaginitis,” vaginal infection by
Candida species has transformed into
the concept of vaginal candidiasis or
candidosis in the United Kingdom, due
to recognition of a wider spectrum of
symptomatic and asymptomatic disease.1
Subsequent recognition that the
dominant site of inflammation and
source of symptoms is the vulva led to
the term “vulvovaginal candidiasis”
(VVC).
