Sixty-six circumcised men and 69 uncircumcised men, both heterosexual and homosexual, had specimens taken from the coronal sulcus and meatus of the penis. Yeasts were isolated at similar rates in both the circumcised (14%) and uncircumcised (17%) men. The circumcised men had significantly fewer symptoms (P = 0-0058). Therefore the female partners of both circumcised and uncircumcised men are exposed to similar rates of yeast infection despite the absence of symptoms in circumcised men. Eighty per cent of the female contacts of yeast-positive men had yeast infection while 32% of the contacts of yeast-negative men were affected. This difference was statistically significant (0-05 greater than P greater than 0-025). Men with non-specific genital infection seemed more likely to carry yeasts than men with gonorrhoea or normal men.
66名接受过包皮环切术的男性和69名未接受过包皮环切术的男性（包括异性恋和同性恋者），其阴茎冠状沟和尿道口均采集了样本。接受过包皮环切术的男性（14%）和未接受过包皮环切术的男性（17%）分离出酵母菌的比例相似。接受过包皮环切术的男性症状明显较少（P = 0.0058）。因此，尽管接受过包皮环切术的男性没有症状，但他们的女性伴侣感染酵母菌的几率与未接受过包皮环切术的男性的女性伴侣相似。酵母菌呈阳性的男性的女性性伴侣中有80%感染了酵母菌，而酵母菌呈阴性的男性的性伴侣中有32%受到感染。这种差异具有统计学意义（0.05＞P＞0.025）。患有非特异性生殖器感染的男性似乎比患有淋病的男性或正常男性更易携带酵母菌。
