[Cultural and serologic examination for saccharomycetic infection in pregnant women (author's transl)].
Cultures from retrolingual, vaginal, and anal smears were used to determine the presence of saccharomycetic infection in 177 pregnant women. The retrolingual smear was saccharomyces-positive in 29.1% of the cases; the vaginal smear, in 18.1%; the anal smear, in 7.3%. The fungus differentiation revealed the pathogen Candida albicans 85 times and the pathogen Candida krusei, 1 time. The Candida HA Test and the Candida JF Test (Roche) were carried out in 160 of the patients. A relationship could be determined between the clinical findings and the serologic results. The danger to the newborn when the mother has a saccharomycetic infection as well as the fundamentals for therapy were discussed.
