Abstrakt: A new antimonilial agent, 3-trichloromethylthio-5-(1-ethyl) amyl hydantoin, has been tested in 31 cases of yeast vaginitis. A single course rendered 16 of these negative as judged by culture on Nickerson's medium. Of the 15 patients who required re-treatment, 13 achieved negative cultures from the second course. The medication appears to be an effective treatment for vaginal candidiasis.
