Abstract:
In this paper,the candida carrier rate of 1996 healthy infants and juveniles of the Han,Dai and Zang nationalities was reported.The specimens were taken from the tongue,cheek mucosa,stool,urine,finger web and vagina.The carrier rate of C.albicans in the mouth was significantly higher than that in the other regions. C.albicans at the tongue of the Han,Dai and Zang people was 4.5%,5.3%, 1.07% respectively.Therefore,C.albicans' residence in the mouth was probably an important source of the internal infection of candidiasis.Of the 1996 healthy individuals none had C.albicans isolated from the urine.The carrier rate of C. albicans isolated from the vagina was only 0.15% in the Han and zero in the Dai and Zang.The carrier rate of candida was least in the newborn.Our data also suggested that the carrier rate of candida at the tongue was much higher than that at the cheek mucosa.Regard must be paid when isolating fungi from the mouth.
