Ninety-four patients with vulvovaginitis and vaginal discharge were assessed clinically and had vaginal swabs taken in an effort to establish a definite diagnosis. A high incidence of fungous infection was found while there was a surprisingly low incidence of Trichomonal vaginitis. These findings vary markedly from recent surveys in other countries (Delaha et al. (1964); Gray and Barnes, 1965; Desai et al., 1966).

The Author reports 45 cases of vulvovaginitis in children. In agreement with the literature the reported data show a fairly high prevalence of concomitant urinary infections. Timely and correct treatment of genital and urinary inflammations can prevent relapses, new infections and reduce the incidence of more serious urinary phlogosis to a minimum.

OBJECTIVE
The aim: To determine the distribution of Candida spp. within different age groups and contraceptive methods in women with vulvovaginitis, as well as the susceptibility of Candida spp. to commonly used antifungals.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
Materials and methods: High vaginal swabs were taken from 98 women aged 18 to 50 with vulvovaginitis who used contraceptives and attended the Women and Children Hospital in Al-Diwaniyah; after diagnosis of Candida species, the sensitivity of Candida spp. to some antifungals was studied.
RESULTS
Results: The results showed (43/98) women (43.87%) used IUD, (15/98) women (15.30%) used birth control pills, (7/98) women (7.14%) used an injection of contraceptive, (5/98) women (5.10%) used contraceptive suppositories, and (28/98) women (28.57%) did not use any contraceptives. Candida spp. was found in (48/83) specimens (57.831%) from women who used contraceptives and only (11/28) specimens (39.285%) from women who did not use contraceptives. Only (59/98) vaginal specimens tested positive for vaginal candidiasis, (28/59) isolates (47.457%) for C. albicans, then (16/59) isolates for C. glabrata (27.118%), (9/59) isolates (15.254%) for C. tropicalis and (6/59) isolates (10.169%) for C. krusei. Nystatin was the best treatment for all Candida spp. under study, and the MIC was 6.25, and the MFC was 50 for all antifungals and Candida species under study.
CONCLUSION
Conclusions: C. albicans was the most prevalent cause of vulvovaginal candidiasis, while C. glabrata was the most common non-albicans species in women aged 26 to 35; using an IUD was associated with an increased infection of vulvovaginal candidiasis, and nystatin was the most effective treatment.

Problematic vaginitis due to Candida presents both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. An essential first step is confirmation of clinical diagnosis and avoidance of empiricism. Once correctly diagnosed, most episodes of vaginitis due to Candida are uncomplicated, responding to all forms of antifungal therapy. Unfortunately, increased numbers of complicated cases now occur requiring additional microbiological study and longer duration therapy with selected antifungal agents.
