[Vaginal contamination with yeasts in healthy women (author's transl)]

The incidence of contamination with vaginal yeasts has been determined in a group of 5,322 healthy women. The incidence of fungal infection is 8.15% and varies with age. It is at a maximum (13.12%) in the age group of 20 to 24 years. Vaginal yeast contamination decreased after the age of 50 years. Antimycotic therapy is necessary, even in asymptomatic patients.
