title: [The role of the mycocenosis due to Candida albicans and the herpes simplex virus type II in urethritis and vulvovaginitis].
abstract: Dissemination of mycocenosis induced by C. albicans and herpes simplex (type 2) virus and the role of this condition in the development of inflammatory diseases of the genitals were under study. Development of urogenital candidiasis in the presence of recurrent vesicular lichen simplex (RVLS) enhanced the intensity of RVLS recurrences and made them more frequent, augmenting the gravity of the clinical picture. Factors contributing to mycocenosis formation were defects of the cellular and humoral immunity systems, of interferon production, and changes in eukaryotic cell adsorption characteristics and reduction of neutrophilic fungicidal activity in RVLS patients.
