Abstract
The density of Candida colonization in mouthwash fluid of 59 HIV-seropositive patients and 21 controls was determined. No significant difference in colony-forming units was found. No correlation was found between the colonizing density of Candida albicans and the CD4 count among the patients. Twenty-seven of the HIV-seropositive patients were followed for almost 3 years. No difference was found between the number of Candida albicans colony-forming units at the first and second time of sampling. Vaccination with HIV IIIB GP 160 vaccine did not have any influence on the prevalence of Candida albicans.
