Eighty cases of symptomatic and twenty cases of asymptomatic vaginal discharge attending a gynacological center for family planning were examined to evaluate the causative organisms for vaginal discharge. Also the correlation between the clinical diagnosis and the laboratory diagnosis was studied. The study showed that the laboratory diagnosis of candidal vaginitis was more significant [P<0.05 ] than the clinical ones while it was not the case in bacterial infection or trichomoniasis [P>0.05 ] C.albicans species was the most common isolates from symptomatic and asymptomatic cases [ 17 and 4 isolates respectively ] followed by C. stellatoidea and C. tropicalis.
