Wystepowanie grzybow z rodzaju Candida i paleczek Enterobacteriaceae w wymazach z pochwy

Celem pracy było określenie udziału grzybów drożdżopodobnych z rodzaju Candida i pałeczek Enterobacteriaceae w wymazach z pochwy u kobiet. Wśród grzybów z rodzaju Candida najczęściej występowały gatunki C. albicans, C. krusei i C. tropicalis, a wśród pałeczek z rodziny Enterobacteriaceae E. coli i P. mirabilis. Grzyby z rodzaju Candida występowały najczęściej w połączeniu z E. coli.

The aim of the present work was to determine the presence and quantity of yeasts (Candida) and rods oi Enterobacteriaceae family in the ontocenosis of vagina in women. Also, we aimed at finding which species of Enterobacteriaceae accompany the yeasts. Furthermore we aimed at determining the etiological factor (Candida yeasts or Enterobacteriaceae rods) causing identical clinical symptoms such as burn, itch, leucorrhea. Vagina secretion collected from 649 patients constituted the material for examination Candida. In 137 patients (which constituted 21,1%) Candida yeasts were found (group I). These patients were additionally divided into 2 subgroups (I a and I b). Group I a consisted of 92 patients (14,2%) who exhibited the presence of Candida without the accompanying rods of Enterobacteriaceae and group I b consisting of 45 patients (6,9%), in whom Candida was found together with the rods. 171 patients (26,3%) were classified to group II, who had only Enterobacteriaceae rods in the vagina. Among Candida yeasts, the most common species were C. albicans,most common rods of Enterobacteriaceae family were E. coli and P. mirabilis. The bacterium which most frequently accompanied the yeasts was E. coli. Considering the fact that patients in group I and patients in group II reported similar problems, the role of the etiological factor in the vaginal inflammatory processes should be analyzed.
