Abstract
We conducted a multicenter, prospective study of the risk factors, natural history, and outcome of fluconazole-refractory mucosal candidiasis (FRMC) in 832 persons with advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (median CD4 cell count, 14/mm3) during 1994-1996. FRMC was defined as mucosal candidiasis that failed to resolve despite 14 days of therapy with daily doses (≥200 mg) of fluconazole. Thirty-six persons (4.3%) had FRMC (35, oral; 1, esophageal), for an incidence of 4.2 per 100 person-years (859.7 total years of follow-up). In a multivariate model, the use of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole within 6 months of enrollment (relative risk [RR], 2.39; P = .04) and the use of fluconazole daily or every other day (RR, 5.64; P = .004) were significantly associated with the development of FRMC. The median survival after the development of FRMC was 32.6 weeks. In conclusion, the annual incidence of FRMC was
