Abstract

In severe cases of denture stomatitis, antifungal drugs are sometimes ineffective. This case is a 72-year-old patient who was prescribed fluconazole for five months but had no improvement in symptoms. After re-diagnosis, medication was performed, and temporary dentures were fabricated for oral rehabilitation. This report describes that microbiological analysis and adjuvant therapy can be helpful, in case does not improve symptoms even with continuous medication of antifungal agent.

심한 의치성 구내염의 경우, 항진균제의 처방이 효과적이지 않은 경우가 있다. 이번 증례는 5개월간 fluconazole을 처방받았으나, 증상의 개선이 없었던 72세의 환자에 증례이다. 본원의 재진단을 거쳐 약물치료를 시행하였고, 임시의치를 제작하여, 구강회복을 기하고자 하였다. 그러나 계속되는 약물치료에도 구강상태가 호전되지 않는 증례에서 미생물학적인 분석 및 보조요법이 도움이 될 수 있음을 본 증례를 통해 살펴보고자 한다.
