title: [Algorithm of diagnostic procedure in candidosis of male genital organs].
abstract: The results of earlier own studies performed in male patients with symptomatic candidosis of genital organs enabled to work out an algorithm of diagnostic procedure to determine of the fungal reservoir in a male patient. The study comprised 50 persons: 25 males and 25 female partners with clinical signs of recurrent genital organs candidosis. To mycological examination 6 specimens from males and 5 from females were collected. A total number of 275 cultures was examined. In the 45% of patients fungi were detected in all foci of infection. In the some cases (20%) fungal strains were isolated in males only from ejaculate but from their sexual partners from all examined specimens. Clinical and mycological cure often required more than one administration of oral antifungal agents.
