Abstract
The occurrence of agglutinating and precipitating antibodies to Candida spp. was determined in 50 patients undergoing operations on the large intestine. The number of patients with oral or fecal yeast colonization and the amount of fecal colonization increased during the period after operation. No patient developed overt fungal infection but 15 patients developed precipitins to mannan antigens and 9 patients developed precipitins to cytoplasmic antigens during this period. The association between the formation of precipitins and the extent of fecal colonization is discussed.
