About
Dr. Hana F. Mikdachi is a clinician-researcher whose work bridges gynecologic surgery and infectious disease, with a particular focus on the complications arising from common gynecologic conditions. Her most cited paper, a 2019 case report, examines a rare but critical complication: *Candida glabrata* fungemia following robotic total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a patient with recurrent vulvovaginitis. This work highlights the dangers of empirical fluconazole treatment for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, which can select for resistant *C. glabrata* strains and lead to life-threatening post-surgical bloodstream infections. Although her citation count is modest, the clinical significance of her contribution is substantial—it serves as a cautionary tale for gynecologic surgeons and infectious disease specialists, emphasizing the need for culture-guided antifungal therapy before elective surgery in patients with recurrent infections. Dr. Mikdachi’s research underscores the intersection of routine gynecologic care and emerging antimicrobial resistance, making her work a valuable reference for clinicians managing complex post-operative infections. Her case report remains a key teaching point in surgical infectious disease discussions.
