Abstract

Background: Zinc status has been shown to influence various cell-mediated immunologic mechanisms. These cell-mediated mechanisms are important in preventing mucocutaneous infections caused by CANDIDA ALBICANS. This study was designed to evaluate the association of zinc status and recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis.Materials and methods: In this case-control study, plasma levels of zinc in 51 patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis and 50 age-matched healthy control women were assessed by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry.Results: Mean plasma levels of zinc were 74.9 ±13 mg/dl and 87±23.5 mg/dl in patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis and control group, respectively (NS). 4 (8%) women of control group and 5 (11.1%) women of patients group had zinc levels lower than normal value (NS).Conclusion: It seems that ZINC DEFICIENCY is not a risk factor of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis.
