title: [Incidence of oral candidiasis in a sample group of diabetics].
abstract: The recurrence of Candida albicans in the oral cavity of diabetic subjects is examined in connection with the capacity of dismetabolic diseases, and diabetes in particular, to support the development of various mycoses. Results from the study of (not - saliva samples taken from) 50 diabetic but stomatologically healthy subjects show that Candida albicans was present in half of the cases examined and was more frequent in females than in males (15 and 10 cases, respectively). Oral cavity pH was also found to be lower in Candida albicans subjects than in normal cases.
