Candida precipitins in pregnant women: validity of the test systems used

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

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, Hurley, and Carroll 1972).
