Abstract

Introduction and Objective: It has been estimated that up to 75% of women in their child-bearing age have been affected by vulvovaginal candidiasis at least once in their life time. Almost 45% of women experience this infection two or more times. The antifungal azole group, in topical and oral forms, is the common way of therapy. Herbal products are often used for vulvovaginal therapy. Nowadays, TOUCRIUM POLIUM (TP) products are being used as traditional medicine to reduce signs of CANDIDA VAGINITIS. There is no study regarding to antifungal activity of TP smoke product in Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the In vitro activity of TP smoke product against Candida, isolated from women with CANDIDA VAGINITIS, compared with antifungal drugs which are ordinary used to cure CANDIDA VAGINITIS.Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted at the University of Medical Sciences of Shiraz in 1387 (2008). During seven months, samples were taken from 450 patients suffering from urogenital infections and 105 CANDIDA VAGINITIS were detected. Germ tube test was used for identification of fungal species. TP smoke product was prepared in suitable potency. Antifungal activity of FLUCONAZOLE, CLOTRIMAZOLE and TP product were evaluated by disk diffusion method. Sterile blank disks were loaded by TP smoke product in potency of 10-240 microliter/disk. Inhibition zone around the disks were measured and compared with each other.Results: 105 Candida species were isolated from the patients. Candida species were identified by germ tube test as CANDIDA ALBICANS 74 (70.5%) and Candida non-albicans 31(29.5%).The mean of inhibition zone around the CLOTRIMAZOLE disks was 22±5.39 along with one case of resistance. Forty seven species had resistance to FLUCONAZOLE while 94% and 55.2% of all samples were sensitive to CLOTRIMAZOLE and FLUCONAZOLE respectively. All of the clinical isolates and standard Candida species were sensitive to TP smoke product.Conclusion: Considering the resistance of Candida species to antifungal drugs and good antifungal activity of TP smoke product, it is necessary to analyze the main compounds and chemical contents of TP extract for better evaluation of its antifungal activity.
