    Summary

    This study reveals how Candida albicans invades the vaginal lining, forming germ tubes and pseudomycelia. The body clears the infection through epithelial shedding and immune cell responses, restoring mucosal health.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Mycology
    • Pathology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Candidal colpitis, a common vaginal yeast infection, impacts women's health.
    • Understanding the host-pathogen interactions is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the pathomorphogenesis of candidal colpitis.
    • To investigate the host's response to Candida albicans infection in the vaginal mucosa.

    Main Methods:

    • Murine model of induced oestrus.
    • Intravaginal inoculation with Candida albicans.
    • Histopathological examination of vaginal tissues.

    Main Results:

    • Candida albicans adhered to and invaded vaginal epithelial layers.
    • Formation of germ tubes and pseudomycelia observed.
    • Epithelial desquamation and leukocyte infiltration led to intraepithelial abscesses and mucosal healing.

    Conclusions:

    • The study details the dynamic process of candidal colpitis development and resolution.
    • Host tissue reactions correlate with pathogen activity throughout the infection phases.
