Of 277 non-pregnant women, 67 (24%) harboured Candida albicans in the genital tract. Of 56 women yielding C albicans who had no other infection diagnosed, 14 were symptomless and 10 had no clinical signs of vulval redness, vaginitis, or discharge. Symptoms and signs tended to be more severe in women with higher yeast counts. Of 22 women with moderate or severe symptoms (pruritus with or without discharge) and signs, 15 had yeast counts of more than 10(3) colony forming units (cfu)/ml, whereas six of nine women with no symptoms or signs had counts of fewer than 10(3) cfu/ml.
在277名未怀孕的女性中,67名(24%)生殖道中携带白色念珠菌。在56名检出白色念珠菌且未诊断出其他感染的女性中,14名无症状,10名没有外阴发红、阴道炎或分泌物的临床体征。酵母菌计数较高的女性症状和体征往往更严重。在22名有中度或重度症状(伴或不伴有分泌物的瘙痒)和体征的女性中,15名的酵母菌计数超过10³菌落形成单位(cfu)/毫升,而在9名无症状或体征的女性中,有6名的计数低于10³cfu/毫升。
