Abstract

Forty-five pregnant women and 51 non-pregnant ones were examined in 2006-2007. Twelve yeast fungal isolates were obtained and identified on an exacerbation of vulvovaginal candidiasis during pregnancy. Only 2 (16.7%) cultures represented the yeast fungi Candida albicans. The data on the sensitivity of 29 yeast fungal isolates were obtained in both groups were compared with those on 48 isolates obtained in 1998-1999. There was a significant reduction in their sensitivity to azoles and an increase in their sensitivity to pimafucin.
