Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis associated with the use of a probiotic supplement

Probiotic supplements containing <i>S. cerevisiae</i> have been implicated in systemic infection, and exogenous exposure to <i>S. cerevisiae</i> has been linked to vulvovaginal candidiasis. Little is known about the potential adverse effects of probiotic supplements containing <i>Saccharomyces</i> species in women with compromised vaginal microbiomes, and further study and caution may be warranted. Intravaginal boric acid should be considered in the treatment of <i>S. cerevisiae</i> vaginitis.
