Is The Fungal Infection Due To Fluconozole-resistant Candidiasis?

my son returned from the middle east with a fungal infection that I caught from him. I have been on 100mg fluconozole/day for 20 days. I had terrible burning and itching vaginally and anally. It went away about 90% after the twenty days. However, 2 days after the end of the regimen, the pain began again. I saw filaments in my urine and stool when the infection was the worst a few weeks ago. We ve been to an Infectious disease doctor and have been checked for bacterial and parasitic infections- both were negative. Is it possible to have a fluconozole-resistant Candidiasis?

Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your doctor I advice you that some candida like C. krusei are resistant to routinely prescribed fluconazole. If you have acquired infection form this strain of candida it will be resistant to the drug and the effect will not be produced. I suggest you to do culture and sensitivity of the yeast along with Grams staining.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
