C. dubliniensis has been identified as pathogen in Oropharyngeal Candidiasis(OPC)particularly among HIV patients. Azole therapy is a cornerstone in OPC, but resistance within C. dubliniensis isolates to diflucan is common.This is a prospective collection of biological specimens from oropharyngeal cavity with the purpose of determining the prevalence of C. dubliniensis in HIV/AIDS patients at the Duval County Department of Health Comprehensive care Center. It is hereto proposed an estimation of azole-resistance in these isolates.

Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Prospective |
Official Title: | Incidence of Oral Candidiasis, Prevalence of Candida Dubliniensis in HIV Patients and in-Vitro Azole Susceptibility. (I.C.O.N.I.C.) |
Estimated Enrollment: | 100 |
Study Start Date: | May 2008 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | December 2008 |
This is a study to try to establish the prevalence of C. dubliniensis as a causative organism of OPC in HIV and/or AIDS patients. We will aim to establish the resistance pattern for azoles but also for Flucytosine and amphotericin of these isolates.
This study will serve as a support to previously published articles that have suggested intrinsic azole-resistance within this particular species of candida and we will try to postulate its possible correlation with clinical failure.
