The presence of VVC can increase vaginal MBL level, which may be an immune response against Candida albicans infection; in women with rVVC, the low level of MBL in the vagina caused by mutation in the MBL gene may play a role in the recurrence of the infection.
This systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to assess the association between MBL2 codon 54 genotype and vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) or recurrent VVC (RVVC).
We describe a family in which four women who were affected by either recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis or onychomycosis had the early-stop-codon mutation Tyr238X in the beta-glucan receptor dectin-1.
Like in IL-22 deficiency, IL-18 deficiency was associated with an increased susceptibility to VVC and unbalanced Th17/Treg response, suggesting that IL-18 can regulate both the innate and the adaptive responses to the fungus.
We found SAP 2, the SAP 4-6 and SAP 7 were the predominant proteinase genes expressed in the sample of both Candida carriers and patients with VVC and RVVC.

We investigated the prevalence of vulvovaginal candidiasis due to C. africana in an STD clinic in India and analysed the genetic relatedness of these C. africana isolates with those outside India.
Frequency of interleukin-4 (IL-4) -589 gene polymorphism and vaginal concentrations of IL-4, nitric oxide, and mannose-binding lectin in women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between Mrr1, adenylyl cyclase-associated protein 1 (Cap1) and multi-drug resistance gene 1 (MDR1), and to assess the mutations in Mrr1 and Cap1 in azole-resistant <i>Candida albicans</i> strains.The study isolated 68 <i>C. albicans</i> strains from patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis.
