The incidences of Trichomonas vaginalis and Candida in the vaginal contents of the women were surveyed by using Saline-Glucose Diagnostic medium, which had begin reported as a simplified method of culture analysis of vaginitis is, especially of mixed-infection by Alexander Varga. Cultures were obtained from 152 pregnant women and 108 non-pregnant women.
The results were as follows:
1) Incidence of Trichomonas was average 20.8%(pregnant women 17.8%, non-pregnant women 25.0 %) and that of Candida was 25:4%(pregnant women 35.5%, non-.pregnant women 11.1%). -
2) In relation to the duration of pregnancy, there was no significant difference from -the .average incidence of Trichomonas in the pregnant women, but in Candida, the incidence increased markedly as the duration of pregnancy increased.
3) In relation to;-the :age off pregnant women, there was no .significant difference from .the´-average incidence of Trichomonas, but in non-pregnant women, majority of positive cases, was found´ in the age groups of 20 to 49 years. In. Candida, exept of. the high incidence,-of 44.7% in the age group of 25 to 29 years, no significant difference could be stated in relation to age in pregnant and non-pregnant women. ;
4) Incidence of Trichomonas in the women with leucorrhea was 29.8 % (pregnant women 23.2%;non pregnant women 37.5%) and that of Candida was 28.8%(42.9%, 12.5%). In the women with vulvar itching, incidence of Trichomonas was 29.5%(31.0%, 26.7%) and that of Candid a was 45.4 (62_1%, 13.3%).
5) Of the women with Trichomonas, 53.7% complained leucorrhea and 25.9% complained vulvar itching. Leucorrhea-was complained 43.9% of - the women with Candida and vulvar itching, by .51.5%.
