Abstract (EN): Candida albicans is by far the most frequent agent of genital candidosis. We studied the prevalence of C albicans in normal asymptomatic women attending primary health care centers throughout Portugal. The overall prevalence of C albicans in the vaginal fluid of 1,004 women studied was 10.4%. Interestingly, the prevalence rates were lower (6.8%) in women taking combination oral contraceptives and higher (13.0%) in those using intrauterine devices.
