Eradication of Cokeromyces recurvatus in a pregnant patient: A case report

Case Reports in Women s Health (2020)

M. Luann Racher

A 31-year-old woman, gravida 3 para 1, at 10 weeks of gestation presented to a vulvar specialty clinic with a 6-month history of vulvar pruritus that had not responded to the treatment prescribed by her referring gynecologist. Examination was consistent with vaginitis and vulvar lichen simplex chronicus. Fungal cultures ultimately revealed Candida albicans and Cokeromyces recurvatus. The organisms were eradicated with oral fluconazole and intravaginal terazole. Few cases of isolation of C. recurvatus in humans have been reported. Both immunosupressed and immuno-competent hosts have been identified, with the most common sites of isolation being the genitourinary and gastrointestinal tracts. Asymptomatic colonization and superficial disease have been noted; no invasive cases of C. recurvatus have been described. Even fewer cases of C. recurvatus infection during pregnancy have been reported, and symptomatic vulvovaginal disease has been described only once prior to this case report.

Fundamentals of the Currently Available Single Port Abdominal Laparoscopic Gynecologic Systems and Utility in Minor Gynecologic Surgery

IntechOpen eBooks (2021)

M. Luann Racher Ann Marie Mercier

Single incision laparoscopic surgery encompasses a plethora of techniques and styles. Single incision laparoscopy has demonstrated outcomes comparable to traditional multiport laparoscopy with the added benefit of improved cosmesis. This book chapter will review single incision surgery for minor gynecologic surgery, including adnexal surgical procedures and myomectomy. The chapter reviews available data in regard to outcomes in single incision laparoscopy. It also discusses the commercially available single incision surgical access systems, laparoscopes, and accessory instruments. Surgical techniques beneficial in single incision laparosocpy, including uterine manipulation, are also reviewed.
