Trial summary

The low Histatine-5 (HST-5) level of the saliva can lead to vaginal candidiasis. Because HST-5 level in the saliva can effect vaginal Ph, flora and local defence mechanisms. Histatine-5 is secreted in the parotis and submandibular glands. İt riches histidine amino ascid and have antifungal activity. Read more about this study

About this study

The low Histatine-5 (HST-5) level of the saliva can lead to vaginal candidiasis. Because HST-5 level in the saliva can effect vaginal Ph, flora and local defence mechanisms.

Histatine-5 is secreted in the parotis and submandibular glands. İt riches histidine amino ascid and have antifungal activity. Salivary proteins and their plasma levels were found as similar in the literature.

Read the detailed description

Women with regularly menstrual cycle will enroll in the study than will separate two groups:

Study group: women with vaginal candidiasis ( diagnosed by clinic and lab.)

Control group: women ( not have any vaginal infections candida and others)

Saliva samples will be taken from two groups than HST-5 level will be analyzed. Finally HST-5 levels of the two groups will be compared .

Women with diabetes, immun deficiency, pregnancy, virgin, menopausal period , premature ovarian failure will be excluded.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. SALIVARY HISTATINE-5 LEVEL IN THE WOMEN WITH VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS

    we done salivary protein electrophoresis( as a small sample group ; consist of vaginal candidiasis and control patients) and Hst5 protein band was seen

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. SALIVARY HISTATINE-5 LEVEL IN THE WOMEN WITH VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS

    We found , low salivary Hst5 levels in women with vaginal candidiasis than control group (p=0.001)

    Measured: 2 month
