D
Nystatin is used to treat candidal infection of the skin, mouth, esophagus, and vagina.
Miconazole (indicated for cutaneous and vaginal candidiasis) and itraconazole are not indicated for the treatment of candidal infections. Oral candidiasis is treated with topical agents, such as nystatin, clotrimazole, and amphotericin B. In an immunocompromised host, oral therapy with fluconazole or ketoconazole usually is required.
Fluconazole is recommended for use in immunocompromised patients, and nothing indicates that the patient is immunocompromised.
