Abstract
Yeasts and fungi other than C. albicans were isolated from the vagina of 86 out of 1498 women (5.7%) who attended a family planning clinic; they comprised 27.7% of all fungal species obtained. These fungi were significantly more common in women aged 35 yr and over and in those who used the diaphragm than in others. They were no more common in women with an abnormal vaginal discharge on examination than in others; they were no more common in women with genitourinary symptoms than in women without.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
