Abstract
The yeasts isolated from four superficial sites and blood were studied before and during radiotherapy in patients with carcinoma of the cervix. Significant yeast growth increased markedly in all four superficial sites during the 1st and 2nd week following radiotherapy. By the 4th week the count had decreased in all samples except in stool of 4 patients. Candida albicans was the most frequent isolate (54.3%) followed by C. tropicalis (28.3%).
