A study on the vaginitis due to candida infection among Bengali women using different contraceptives was carried out. A total of 368 patients using three different contraceptives (Pills, Injectables, IUD) and 316 age and parity matched women as control were studied. The incidence of vaginal yeast infection was highest (17.6%) among pill user. In control group, the incidence is lower (6.7%). The difference is statistically significant (P less than 0.05). No significant difference in vaginal yeast infection in women using other two types of contraceptives (Injection, IUD) in contrast to control group was found (P greater than 0.5). Candida albicans was the most common type of yeast infection (91.8%). No Torulopsis glabrata was isolated in this study. we did not find any relationship between duration of contraceptive usages and higher incidence of vaginal candidiasis (P greater than 0.5). This study also indicated that culture examination is much more sensitive than microscopic examination of vaginal swab in detecting yeast infection.
