Abstract

The relationship between vaginal microflora Candida albicans vulvovaginitis is studied. Results obtained from 340 vaginal specimens showed an increase of isolates in the absence of C albicans for all groups of microorganisms (168%), particularly for the gram-negative bacteria (226%). A high frequency of polymicrobial vaginitis is noted, as is the probable importance of anaerobic microorganisms. Finally, some special aspects of the pathogenesis of C albicans infection are discussed.
