Candida tropicalis is one of the most common non-Candida albicans yeasts, and is a major cause of candidiasis in those who have lowered immunity.
Globally, we’ve seen a huge jump in C. tropicalis infections, with antifungal resistance a huge problem.
C. tropicalis is resistant to fluconazole, limiting treatment options. Mucous membranes are affected by C. tropicalis, including the vagina.
Symptoms of C. tropicalis
- Similar or the same as other yeast infections
- Itch
- Burning
- Pain after sex
- Stinging
