There is limited data on susceptibility patterns of azole antifungal among Candida species causing candida vaginitis in non-pregnant women at reproductive age in Mwanza Tanzania. In view of this gap this study was designed to determine susceptibility patterns of azole antifungal among Candida species causing candida vaginitis in non-pregnant women in Mwanza Tanzania.
