title: [Ano-rectal candidiasis].
abstract: The presence of candida and other fungi was investigated in 300 patients referred with anal problems of diverse aetiology. Candida was present in 13% and played a pathogenic role in about 50% of all positive cultures. It is concluded that cultural tests for fungal pathogens should always be performed in cases of anal itching or burning combined with other anal skin problems.
