The generalized data from the contemporary literature on prevalence, specificity of course and treatment of candida infection in population in general were presented. Special attention is stressed on the peculiarities of beginning, course and treatment of candida vulvovaginitis in pregnant women. The principal possible reasons for obstetric and perinatal complications of such patients are discussed. It is showed that this data is often contradictory, and the question of the specificity of clinical course and adequate reasonable therapy of candida infection during pregnancy remains a problem which requires a subsequent intensive study.
