Treatment of oropharyngeal candidiasis in immunocompetent infants: a randomized multicenter study of miconazole gel vs. nystatin suspension

Abstract

Miconazole gel was significantly superior to nystatin suspension with regard to efficacy, rapidity of achieving cure and oropharyngeal yeast eradication. Relapses and side effects did not occur more frequently with miconazole than with nystatin. The results of this study indicate that miconazole gel is superior to nystatin suspension as the treatment for oropharyngeal candidiasis in immunocompetent infants.
