Further study details as provided by Indian Council of Medical Research:

Primary Outcome Measures:

* Mycological cure on the 15th day of therapy and defined as the absence of Candida growth on fungal culture of high vaginal swab [ Time Frame: 15 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

* Relief in clinical symptoms and signs of vulvovaginal candidiasis including vaginal discharge, pruritus, burning sensation and vaginal congestion [ Time Frame: 15 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Enrollment: 100
Study Start Date: June 2004
Study Completion Date: April 2006
Primary Completion Date: April 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms Assigned Interventions
1, Boric acid: Active Comparator
600 mg vaginal pessaries for 14 days
Drug: Boric
Gelatin capsules filled with 600 mg of boric acid
2, Fluconazole Drug: Fluconazole
150 mg oral fluconazole gives once in 14 days

Detailed Description:

A high proportion of vulvovaginal candidiasis is due to C.glabrata that responds poorly to fluconazole therapy. We assessed the clinical relief and mycological cure in response to oral fluconazole and boric acid suppositories in patients with diabetes mellitus and vulvovaginal candidiasis given in a Randomized trial. Fluconazole was given in standard oral single dose (150 mg) fluconazole and boric acid vaginal suppositories was given in dose of 600 mg/daily for 14 uninterrupted days.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* Consecutive patients with diabetes mellitus attending Endocrine OPD of All India Institute of Medical Sciences and in whom the diagnosis of vulvovaginal candidiasis was based on presence of clinical signs and symptoms and growth of Candida species on culture of high vaginal swab (HVS).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with vaginal discharge in whom Candida growth was not detected on fungal culture were excluded.
* Subjects also excluded were those with pregnancy,
