[Condylomata, hormonal contraceptives and candidiasis--and their interrelationships in women attending a clinic for veneral diseases]
Abstract
PIP: 493 women were examined over an 8 month period for the incidence of condylomata acuminata (CA) and the presence of the virus candida albicans. The results were correlated to the patients' rate of oral contraceptive use. CA was found in 77 patients; the rest served as a control group. 44% of the women in the CA group used oral contraceptives, compared to 38% in the control group (.05 P .1). Candida albicans was found among 14.7% of the women using oral contraceptives and in 16% of the non-users (.5 P .6). Candida albicans was found in 20% of the CA group and 15% of the control group (.3 P .4). No significant relationship could be demonstrated between any of the 3 parameters.
