Abstract

Candidiasis is the most common fungal infection of humans caused by Candida albicans. Immediate and proper management of vaginitis candida must be done to prevent complications. Nigella sativa has pharmacological effects as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, immune stimulation and anti-cancer properties. Nigella sativa was proven have antifungal effect in vitro, and this study was to assess the antifungal effects and possibility of in vivo therapy. This study is an analytical study that assesses the therapeutic effect of Nigella sativa in a rat vaginal candidiasis model. Subjects were 28 rats that had been inoculated with Candida albicans and divided into 4 groups: Nigella sativa group, fluconazole group, combination of Nigella sativa with fluconazole group and control group. Candida albicans colony was measured to assess the therapeutic effect of the treatment. There were no difference number of Candida albicans colony between all group before inoculation (p = 0,274) and after inoculation (p = 0,323). There were significant decreased number of Candida albicans colony on the 24 hours after the treatment between the three types of treatment with the control group (Nigella sativa group p = 0,046; Fluconazole group p = 0,002; Nigella sativa + fluconazole p = 0,002). There was therapeutic effect of Nigella sativa by reducing the number of Candida albicans colonies.
