Many investigators have suggested that vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) occurs more frequently in diabetics [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ] . Further, chronic recurring VVC may be a marker of diabetes [ 9 ] . Several studies report increased rates of asymptomatic vaginal carriage rates of Candida species and incidence of symptomatic infection in diabetic women, but results are inconsistent [ 5 10 11 12 13 14 ] . While some show no increase in carriage of vaginal Candida [ 5 ] , those demonstrating increased Candida carriage in female diabetes patients do not examine the effect of glucose control or diabetes type [ 12 14 ] . However, in vitro studies demonstrating impaired host response directed against Candida in diabetics support the idea of increased rates of Candida colonization among diabetics [ 4 6 7 ] . Whether diabetes leads to more symptomatic and/or more recurrent VVC episodes is a subject of controversy.
Vallencian and colleagues biopsied 100 consecutive men with normal or non-suspicious digital rectal examinations and detected only 14 cancers, none with PSA levels below 10 ng/ml [ 29 ] .
