Özet

Women presenting symptoms and/or signs of lower genital tract infection were examined mycologically and to increase the sensitivity of the culture methods and to estimate the aberrant forms of fungi, hypertonic media was used. 47 yeast species were isolated from 86 patients. On the other hand 8 Candida albicans strains were isolated by using hypertonic culture media in which no growth was observed in any of the media used for routine culture. In relation with this study 8 cases were evaluated and the culture methods that have been used were discussed.
