AB  - PURPOSE: To quantify the number of defense cells and immunoglobulin E (IgE) 
      levels in peripheral blood sampled from women with recurrent vulvovaginal 
      candidiasis. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 60 women, 40 with 
      vulvovaginal candidiasis and 20 controls. The defense cells were identified using 
      an impedance system combined with flow cytometry and total and specific IgE was 
      measured by chemiluminescence. The Mann-Whitney test was used for nominal 
      variables and the Spearman test was used to determine the correlation of IgE 
      concentration and eosinophils in peripheral blood. RESULTS: The number of 
      eosinophils in peripheral blood from patients with recurrent vulvovaginal 
      candidiasis, 302.60 (+/- 253.07), was significantly higher compared to control, 
      175.75 (+/- 109.24) (p=0.037). Serum levels of total and specific IgE were similar 
      in the groups of women with and without recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis 
      (p=0.361). However, there was a moderate positive correlation between eosinophils 
      and total serum IgE in the candidiasis group (r=0.25). CONCLUSION: Women with 
      recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis are more likely to have eosinophils in 
      peripheral blood.
