In this study we performed swab cultures from vaginal discharge of 100 patients with various gynecological and obstetrical symptoms during visits to Ankara University Medical Faculty, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics and Dr. Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Hospital Clinics. 23 Candida spp. were isolated and the distribution of the strains were as follows; C. albicans (16), C. glabrata (3), C. pseudotropicalis (1), C. parapsilosis (1). Two strains were untypable. Our findings indicate that C. albicans has an important role in patients with vaginal discharge.
