Candida lusitaniae as an unusual cause of recurrent vaginitis and its successful treatment with intravaginal boric acid

We report the case of a patient with chronically symptomatic and repeatedly treated vaginal candidiasis whose infection was attributable to Candida lusitaniae, a previously unreported cause of candidal vaginitis.
