title: [Study on Candida no-albicans species and its relation to recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis].
abstract: Genital candidiasis is a frequent pathology among women. It has a 5% incidence rate of presenting itself in a recurrent way, which leads to a longer treatment. Candida gender has various species. The ones, which are the most usual and the cause of vaginal, cervicovaginal, and vulvovaginal candidiasis are: Candida albicans, C. glabrata and C. krusei. Their presence is related to further appearances. A case study was made to identify the species of Candida gender. It was based on the diagnostics made in three Mexico City hospitals on female genital candidiasis cases. The identified and isolated Candida species obtained were: albicans with a 71.91%, C. glabrata with a 11.80%, and C. tropicalis with a 7.87%.
