Diagnosis and Management of Candida.

The diagnosis and organization of candida in the breastfeeding dyad are difficult because diagnosis is most often based on subjective signs and symptoms. Although there are many published articles about candida of the sex organ and titty in medical and lay profession, most of the reports are anecdotal. A few studies have attempted to confirm diagnosis with microbiological investigation. Only one drawing has quantified signs and symptoms with susceptibility, specialness, and photographic film predictive values. This prospective piece by Francis-Morrill et al. cultured both the sex organ and milk with a fact testing ground media from 100 healthy breastfeeding women at 2 weeks postpartum. The participants were examined for shiny or flaky skin of the nipple/areola and questioned about four symptoms of candida (burning pain of the nipple/areola, sore nipples, stabbing pain of the knocker, and nonstabbing pain of the breast) at the time of fluconazole and then again at 9 weeks postpartum. The signs and symptoms were correlated with perceptiveness results to determine the susceptibility, specialness, and denial and film predictive values for each indication. The photographic film predictive numerical quantity was highest in women who had trinity or more signs or symptoms at the same time or when flaky shiny skin of the nipple/areola was seen in women who reported pain of the knocker.
