To the person who posted about the mom with unresolved yeast after
conventional tx, I just read this exurpt from an online medical site.
The author was actually addressing yeast in AIDs patients, but perhaps
the same tx will work for moms?

"Persons with OPC that is unresponsive to clotrimazole, ketoconazole, or
itraconazole tablets will usually respond to fluconazole. Persons with
OPC unresponsive to fluconazole (200 mg daily given for 2 weeks) may
respond to higher doses of fluconazole. For fluconazole-refractory OPC,
amphotericin B oral suspension (100 mg po qid) or itraconazole (100 mg
qd) may be effective.

Treatment duration is 7 to 14 days for OPC or vaginal disease and up to
21 days for esophageal disease. §
