ABSTRACT
This project attempts to determine the frequency rate of candidiasis among pregnant women in Abakpa Nike Enugu. One hundred and ten samples of high vaginal swabs were collected and examined wet in the microscope. The sample were donated by pregnant women attending ante-natal clinics at park-lane hospital Enugu. Eighty-five samples out of the one hundred and ten samples collected from the pregnant women were candida positive. The candida specie implicated were classified as follows: sixty pregnant women had Candida Albicans, ten had candida torulopsis, seran had Candida Kmse and eight had Candida Stellordea.
The samples were collected as follows. They were asked to open up their legs wide enough and the swab stick was inserted into the vagina and turned once. Normal saline was added to the sample solution and examined. The samples was examined wet under the microscope, budding yeast-like cells were observed.
The results indicated that the frequency rate is high as a result of illiteracy and poor hygienic state of most pregnant women within the study area. Improved hygiene and health education are stronghy recommended for the generality of people and women preparing for marriage particularly Park-Lane Enugu.
