| Popis: | To determine the prevalence of Candida sp. by cervical-vaginal cytology in patients from the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS) and from the Private Network (RP).A retrospective study on the results of cytology exams from the Souza Anatomy Laboratory of Maringá, Paraná state, Brazil, from 2004 to 2006.A total of 94,203 reports of cytology were evaluated, with a prevalence of Candida sp. of 4.94% (n = 4,655), with no significant variation in the two populations or among the 3 years studied (P0.05). Candida sp. predominated in both populations, aged between 20 and 39 years (P0.0001). The bacterial flora linked to Candida sp. was of lactobacilli (P0.05).With the results obtained, it was noticed that the socio-economical level does not seem to influence the epidemiology of the Candida sp. and pointed to a balance in terms of numbers of this agent in Maringá, Paraná, Brazil. |
