    Abstract:
    Candidiasis of the lower female genital tract during pregnancy is a leading cause for seeking medical help. During pregnancy candidiasis is encountered about 30% more often compared to non-pregnant (by the time of delivery about 18-22% of the pregnant women would have the infection). It is clinically manifested especially after 36 w.g. This might be the cause of a series of pregnancy complications. Most serious are considered prematurity, chorioamnionitis, descending infection from mother to the newborn during delivery. Significantly less attention has been paid to the birth canal injury and its higher rate if a Candida colpitis is present at the time of delivery.
