In this work, the authors report the results of an epidemiological study on Trichomonas vaginalis and Candida spp. frequency in a sample of the adult female population in Bologna. They also studied the influence exerted by some epidemiological variables such as age, profession, civil status, educational status, use of specific products for feminine hygiene, contraceptive usage, and sexual habits. Some interesting correlations were observed. (author's modified)
