Re: Predictive Value of Exercise Stress Testing in a Family Medicine Population

Abstract

To the Editor: I read with great interest the recent article by Xu et al entitled "Effect of Antibiotics on Vulvovaginal Candidiasis" in the July issue of your journal. 1 In their study they have highlighted a very common etiology for vulvovaginal candidiasis which is becoming all the more common now with widespread overuse of antibiotics. 2 I understand their study was limited by numbers, but it would be interesting to know if they noted any association with a particular type of antibiotic. Previous studies have implicated certain antibiotics such as cephalosporins 3 or fluoroquinolones, 4 whereas others found no relation at all.
