| Abstract |
|
Candida is studied in the urine of 150 cases of normal person and 168 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. Positive rate of Candida species is 0.7%(♀, 1case) in normal person, 5.4% (♂, 7cases: ♀, 2cases) in pulmonary tuberculosis cases. There is a little relationship between the higher positive rate and pulmonary tuberculosis. The positive rate of Candida albicans is 100% in Candida positive normal person, 77.8% in Candida positive tuberculous patient(by the classification method following Martin's Method). The extend of tuberculous lesion, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fever, cough, malaise, and weight loss are significantly related with the Candida positive rate. Age and sex of tuberculous patients, existence of vacity and mycobacterium tuberculosis, administration of antituberculosis drugs, amount of urine excreted, urine appearance, frequency of urination and painful urination seem to have no definite relationship with he Candida positive rate. Urine pH of Candida positive is found to be between 4.0 and 6.0. There does exist significant correlation ship between Candida positive rate in sputum and that in stool,m while there is no correlation ship between Candida positive rate in urine and that in sputum, as well as between the positive rate in urine and that in stool. |
