Quantitative relationships of Candida albicans infections and dressing patterns in Nigerian women.

I A Elegbe, I Elegbe.   

Abstract

Candida albicans colony counts were far higher in patients with vaginitis wearing tight fitting clothing than in patients wearing loose fitting clothing. In Ile-Ife, Nigeria, tight fitting dresses, woolen and corduroy jeans, coupled with nylon underwear, appear to create an environment favorable to Candida albicans colonization.
