[Functional status of the endocrine and immune systems in women with chronic candidiasis of external genital organs].

Sixty three patients with chronic candidiasis of external genitalia (CCEG) were studied. There was no evidence of hypoparathyroidism or adrenal failure in females with CCEG. The possible role of documented hypothyroidism or diabetes mellitus in these patients' condition should be considered. Though the impairment of the B-or T-immune systems failed to be revealed in the aforementioned patients, some of them demonstrated autoimmune processes in some endocrine glands without any significant impairment of their functional performance.
