We compared susceptibility to Candida vaginitis in derived murine substrains differing in sensitivity to estrogen (CD-1 and CD10, resistant; CD3 and C57BL/6 responsive), and in F1 crosses. The order of decreasing resistance was CD-1 > or = CD10 > or = CD10 x CD3F1 > CD10 x B6F1 > CD3 > C57BL/6 and correlated with estrogen responsiveness in endocrine disruptor assays. Resistance to Candida vagin...

SYNOPSIS Sera from 200 pregnant women, with symptoms suggestive of vaginitis and harbouring yeast in the vagina, were examined for precipitating antibodies to three antigens of C. albicans, using a gel double diffusion test. A high overall incidence of precipitin-positive sera (47.5 %) was found compared with an incidence of 18% in the unselected pregnant population previously studied (Stanley,...

Vaginitis is mostly caused by Trichomonas vaginalis leading to mild to severe infections in the vaginal mucosa. The treatment for this disease can be initiated with the help of antimicrobial and antifungal agents in various dosage forms. Novel dosage forms have gained prior significance in recent formulation researches due to their inevitable controlled drug release mechanism and site specific ...

INTRODUCTION Infectious vaginitis is a common clinical syndrome diagnosed in more than one quarter of women attending clinics for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) [1] and with increasing frequency in private practice [2]. Effective management of the syndrome depends on an acceptably accurate etiologic diagnosis, as the most effective therapies are narrowspectrum medications that target the ...

263 Vaginitis is a very common disease, affecting millions of women and is one of the primary reasons why women visit their doctor, but, among these, the true incidence of vaginal infections is difficult to ascertain, since most women and sometimes their doctors use the term vaginitis as a synonym for infections, assuming that all vulvovaginal irritations or itching, especially when accompanied...

abstract background and objectives: candida vaginitis is one of the most infectious diseases which millions of women aged 45-15 years are annually being referred to clinics. the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and the relationship between candida vaginitis and variables such as age, contraceptive procedures and the number of labor. material and methods: we carried out this...

After a recent report showing the in vitro susceptibility to mebendazole of a strain of Trichomonas vaginalis that was resistant to metronidazole, we present two cases of metronidazole resistant infection, both of which failed to respond to oral mebendazole.

background and aim: about 20% of non-pregnant women aged 15 to 55 harbour candida albicans in the vagina .the aimed to determine the characterization of candida species isolated from women with vulvovaginitis candidates (vvc) of reproductive ages. methods: this descriptive study was conducted on 280 of who were selected for gathering samples by purposive sampling based on their history and char...

background: currently, non-invasive methods for screening atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer are lacking. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of serological parameters including serum pepsinogen i (pgi), pepsinogen ii (pgii) and pepsinogen i: ii ratio for the screening atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer.   methods : the study population consisted of 132 dyspeptic patients ...
