Candida (Monilia) Albicans

“…This observation is not supported by the work of McVay and Sprunt. 40 Lipnik and his associates 39 have shown that dibasic sodium phosphate will stim¬ ulate the growth of the yeast, and this parallels our findings with one medium and not with another. Since Czapek's medium without sodium nitrate supported growth when dibasic calcium phosphate was added and not with dibasic sodium phosphate, it would appear that the calcium was more important than the sodium or the phos¬ phate.…”

Acidophilus milk products: Manufacture and therapeutics

“…Administration of broadspectrum antibiotics suppresses the lactobacilli (228,229) which results in a disturbance of the ecological balance in the vagina. Under such conditions, yeast infections (monilia vaginitis) occur which cause irritation and inflammation of the vaginal canal.…”

Moniliasis in Pediatrics

“…Potassium iodide by mouth, or sodium iodide or methylrosaniline chloride intravenously, has been recom¬ mended for the treatment of systemic moniliasis. An oral preparation of undecylenic acid,95 thymol,114 and paraben (an ester of parahydroxybenzoic acid)12·13·20· 52,175 have been claimed to have some bene¬ ficial effects in disseminated moniliasis. Topical treatment of moniliasis with nystatin is strikingly effective in most pediatric patients.…”
