[Anti-Candida albicans serology. A study carried out on 178 pregnant women in labour (author's transl)]. 1981

P Auger, and L Trudeau, and G Marquis, and D Larose, and J Joly

The serological study of 178 women investigated during labor shows that the number of patients with a significant titer of Candida albicans antibodies is 161 % higher in those suffering from vulvovaginitis due to this fungus as compared to patients without current infection. Among the 30 patients having vaginitis, 73 % harbor the yeast in the gastrointestinal tract. Precipitins were present in 6 patients : all of them also have a high titer of fluorescent antibodies. From the results of this work, it can be concluded that Candida albicans serology, although still difficult in its interpretation, is an interesting tool for the clinician and for the study of the physiopathology of candidosis.
