It is a prospective study among women who had a microscopic examination and culture of vaginal secretions. One hundred and fifteen vaginal prelevements were done on a 3 months period. The average age of consulting women was 45.5 years, with extremes from 20 to 71 years. The vulvovaginal candidiasis is noted in 16 patients representing 13.9 1%of the total prelevements. Approximatively one consultant over three had no hormonal contraception. The primiparity is found in 17.39%of the cases. Leucorrhoea are observed in 62, 50%of cases, associated to pmrit in 50%of the cases. C. albicans is the most species isolated in 8 1.25%of the cases. The rate of positive cases of Candida Spp. is lower than other studies but would have been higher with more sensible screening techniques. The knowledge of the epidemiologic factors of the CVV and their influence in the genesis of the genital candidiasis have in important role in the fight against this infection
