I.A. Elegbe and I. Elegbe

American Journal of Public Health, 1983, vol. 73, issue 4, 450-452

Abstract: Candida albicans colon counts were far higher in patients with vaginitis wearing tight fitting clothing than in patients wearing loose fitting clothing. In Ile-Ife, Nigeria, tight fitting dresses, woollen and corduroy jeans, coupled with nylon underwear, appear to create an environment favorable to Candida albicans colonization.
