Resumo: | Vulvovaginal candidiasis consists of an infection of the vulva and vagina caused by fungi of the genus Candida, especially when there is an unbalance of the vaginal microbiota, resulting in signs such as redness, intense itching and vaginal discharge. By representing the diagnosis of aforementioned gynecological infection, the present study has as main objective to verify the prevalence of vulvovaginal candidiasis through the results of cytopathological exams carried out in the Basic Health Units - UBS of the municipalities of the central region of the State of Tocantins, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional, exploratory and descriptive research, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, covering examinations of women who received care at UBS in the municipalities of Colmeia and Pequizeiro. Through the analysis of the results, it can be observed that, among the 30 samples with vulvovaginal candidiasis, there was a prevalence of suggestiveness of bacterial vaginosis, with a representativeness of 80%, and the presence of Lactobacillus sp., being pointed out in 60% of the analyzed exams. There was also, in a lower percentage, the indication of suggestive of Gardnerella vaginalis, with a value of 16,7%. Leucorrhoea was diagnosed in 26,7% of the exams under study, while the observation of an inflammatory process could be detected in most patients, in 86,7% of the cases. Therefore, carrying out the present study made it possible to point out the significant occurrence of association of vulvovaginal candidiasis with other infections, being of paramount importance the orientation and adoption of the appropriate treatment by the patients. |

Debido a la representatividad del diagnóstico de la referida infección ginecológica, el presente estudio tiene como principal objetivo verificar la prevalencia de candidiasis vulvovaginal a través de los resultados de exámenes citopatológicos realizados en las Unidades Básicas de Salud - UBS de los municipios de la región centro de Estado de Tocantins, Brasil. Se trata de una investigación transversal, exploratoria y descriptiva, con abordaje cualitativo y cuantitativo, que abarcó exámenes de mujeres atendidas en las UBS de los municipios de Colmeia y Pequizeiro. A través del análisis de los resultados, se puede observar que, entre las 30 muestras con candidiasis vulvovaginal, hubo un predominio de sugestividad de vaginosis bacteriana, con una representatividad del 80%, y la presencia de Lactobacillus sp., siendo señalado en 60% de los exámenes analizados. También hubo, en menor porcentaje, la indicación de sugestivo de Gardnerella vaginalis, con un valor del 16,7%. Se diagnosticó leucorrea en el 26,7% de los exámenes en estudio, mientras que en la mayoría de los pacientes se pudo detectar la observación de un proceso inflamatorio, en el 86,7% de los casos. Por lo tanto, la realización del presente estudio permitió señalar la significativa ocurrencia de asociación de candidiasis vulvovaginal con otras infecciones, siendo de suma importancia la orientación y adopción del tratamiento adecuado por parte de las pacientes.A candidíase vulvovaginal consiste em uma infecção da vulva e da vagina provocada por fungos do gênero Cândida, principalmente quando há um desbalanço da microbiota vaginal, resultando em sinais como vermelhidão, prurido intenso e corrimento vaginal.
