Description

Asymptomatic vulvovaginal candidosis refers to a fungal infection caused by Candida species in the vulvovaginal area that does not present any noticeable symptoms. This condition can be identified through laboratory testing, even when the patient does not report any discomfort or signs of infection.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters may encounter variations such as 'candidiasis asintomática' or 'infección por hongos asintomática', which are colloquial and should be avoided in formal contexts. It is important to maintain a clinical tone and ensure that the patient understands the absence of symptoms does not mean the absence of an infection.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with asymptomatic vulvovaginal candidosis after routine testing.

ES: La paciente fue diagnosticada con candidosis vulvovaginal asintomática tras pruebas de rutina.
