Vaginal Moniliasis in Private Practice

From the Jewish General Hospital, Montreal, Quebec

Abstract

A survey of the occurreNC.e of vaginal candidiasis among 1001 patients seen consecutively in a private gynecologic practice, employing Nickerson's Medium for diagnostic culture, uNC.overed an overall iNC.ideNC.e of 8.5%. The disorder was asymptomatic in nearly 25% of the affected patients. It was found but rarely among prepuberal girls and menopausal women. PregnaNC.y and the use of oral contraceptives iNC.reased the iNC.ideNC.e of vaginal moniliasis but not as significantly as did the use of antibiotics and cortisone.
