Circumst. antially, t.he suspected sources of infection and the attributatble factors for the candiclal nfection in these patients were mother of the children who had known candidal vulvovaginitis, and chronic diarrhea of the children. Regarding the treatment of these patients, 3 were given oral ketocanazole and 2 were treated with intravaginal clotrimazole preparations for more than 1 week with successful result. Concern for better hygiene in the anogenital area seems to be important in the prevention of childhood candidal vulvovaginitis.
