title: [Frequency of cytolytic vaginosis--examination of 1152 patients].
abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of cytolitic vaginosis amongst women with symptoms that mimic vulvovaginal candidiasis. We include 1152 patients, which are microbiologically and citologically tested. We found in 3.9% cytolytic vaginosis. The clinical presentation is suggestive of vulvovaginal candidiasis. The differentiation of these two conditions is essential for appropriate treatment and resolution of chronic vaginal subjective complaints.
