Recently on two separate occasions in two different health care facilities, the MD refused to simultaneously order nystatin cream for a candidiasis diaper rash and the oral suspension- mentioned something about too much in infant's system. They opted to treat orally only and then when rash was not gone in ten days they ordered the cream. Have I missed some new info regarding this? Regarding the horrendous practice of female mutilation-socially it is a status symbol in certain cultures and the only assurance of finding a suitable husband. The women have few alternatives. An excellent article in New England Journal of Med Sept 15, 1994 issue p. 712-6. Also an editorial in same issue on p. 739-40. Diane Wilson RN BSN IBCLC Archer, FL
