Conditions

Candidiasis, Vaginal Infection

Brief summary

The low Histatine-5 (HST-5) level of the saliva can lead to vaginal candidiasis. Because HST-5 level in the saliva can effect vaginal Ph, flora and local defence mechanisms. Histatine-5 is secreted in the parotis and submandibular glands. İt riches histidine amino ascid and have antifungal activity. Salivary proteins and their plasma levels were found as similar in the literature.

Detailed description

Women with regularly menstrual cycle will enroll in the study than will separate two groups: Study group: women with vaginal candidiasis ( diagnosed by clinic and lab.) Control group: women ( not have any vaginal infections candida and others) Saliva samples will be taken from two groups than HST-5 level will be analyzed. Finally HST-5 levels of the two groups will be compared . Women with diabetes, immun deficiency, pregnancy, virgin, menopausal period , premature ovarian failure will be excluded.
