In a study on 129 patients with penile condylomata acuminata we recognised an incidence of 32% penile yeast affection. Candida was found in 54%, Torulopsis in 30% and Rhodotorula in 17% of all cases. The high rate of yeasts not belonging to the candida species is remarkable. There was no correlation between our test results regarding the cell-mediated immunity against candida albicans and the local yeast infection.
