A group of 150 women suspected of mycotic colpitis was examined. Mycological cultures were positive in only 52%. False positives from routine microscopy were noted. Species of yeast, clinical symptoms, findings in oral cavity and rectum, and perianal lesions were reported. Mixed infections were discussed. Patients were treated with vaginal and oral Nystatin. Mycological negativity occurred in 43% of pregnant and 75% of non-pregnant women; complete cure in 24% and 33% respectively. After delivery, 78% of women recovered spontaneously without treatment.
