Abstract
In a study of the prevalence of 9 different microorganisms in the female genital tract in a Swedish population, significantly higher isolation rates occurred among women attending a venereal disease clinic than among those attending a gynecological health control department. The prevalence of Candida albicans was similar in different groups; individual susceptibility was the most important factor. Chlamydia trachomatus, Trichomonas vaginalis and Mycoplasma hominis occurred concomitantly with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, indicating a similar epidemiology for all these agents. Younger patients seemed to have an increased susceptibility to C. trachomatis; older patients had an increased susceptibility to T. vaginalis. [Other organisms surveyed in these women included Ureaplasma urealyticum, Group B streptococci, herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus.].
