Trichosporon beigelii was isolated from vaginal washings from three asymptomatic women. All three women had IgG or IgA anti-T. beigelii antibody titres greater than or equal to 20 when tested by an indirect immunofluorescence assay against the three strains isolated. Titres greater than or equal to 160 were found when each patient was tested against her own isolate. Patients with Candida albicans vulvovaginitis, or from whom C. albicans or Toruloposis glabrata was isolated from vaginal washings, or who had negative cultures for yeasts, had titres less than or equal to 20.
