Objective: to identify the prevalence of Candida albicans and its relation with vaginal pH changes.

Results: 412 patients were studied, 104 (25%) presented C. albicans infection, which is associated with greater frequency to vaginal pH of 5. Conclusion: C. albicans is the main agent of vulvovaginitis fungal, it is associated with an incidence to vaginal pH of 5, however, and being an important factor it is not considered the unique manifestation of the disease.
