Genital yeast infection was studied in 533 women seen in a department of venereology. Yeasts were recovered in culture from 138 patients (26% of the total). Candida albicans accounted for 112 (81%) of the isolates and Torulopsis glabrata for 22 (16%); other yeasts were uncommon. There was no evidence that the presence of yeasts was related to age. 32% of the women who were taking an oral contraceptive harboured yeasts, compared with 18% of those who were not.The symptoms and signs of the women with yeast infections were compared with those with vaginal trichomoniasis and those with no evidence of genital infection. It seems that a clinical diagnosis of vaginal mycosis cannot be made with accuracy and that positive identification of yeasts is necessary; for this, cultural methods are the most satisfactory.
对性病科收治的533名女性进行了生殖器酵母菌感染研究。从138例患者(占总数的26%)的培养物中分离出酵母菌。白色念珠菌占分离株的112株(81%),光滑球拟酵母菌占22株(16%);其他酵母菌不常见。没有证据表明酵母菌的存在与年龄有关。服用口服避孕药的女性中有32%携带酵母菌,未服用口服避孕药的女性中这一比例为18%。将酵母菌感染女性的症状和体征与阴道毛滴虫感染女性以及无生殖器感染迹象的女性进行了比较。似乎无法准确做出阴道霉菌病的临床诊断,必须对酵母菌进行阳性鉴定;为此,培养方法是最令人满意的。
