title: Study of candida and Trichomonas vaginalis in Leucorrhoea.
abstract: Of 150 clinically suspected cases of leucorrhoea, 44 cases (29.33%) showed growth of candida and 30 cases (20%) of trichomonas, by wet preparation. Among the candida species the most frequent isolate was C albicans (56.8%), followed by C tropicalis (20.4%), C krusei (11.4%), C stellatoidea (9.1%) and C parapsilosis (2.3%). The higher incidence was found among the pregnant women than among non-pregnant women. Among pregnant women multipara in third trimester showed higher incidence of candida and trichomonas infection.
