Abstract
From 566 patients who attended a special clinic for diagnosis and treatment of vaginal fluor 1698 smears from urethra, vagina, and anus were taken. In 121 cases Candida was found. In 16 out of 111 patients (14%) the fungus was isolated only from the ano-rectal area. A rectal smear is very essential in case of suspected candidiasis. It should be done in general practice if a recurrence of the infection is observed or if the candidiasis appears resistant to treatment.
