[Fungal involvement of the tongue and feces in dialysis-dependent patients]. / Hefepilzbefall von Zunge und Faeces bei dialysepflichtigen Patienten.

38 patients regularly receiving dialysis and 3 patients with a renal transplant were investigated with regard to possible colonization of yeasts. The tongue and stool were directly examined with Kimmig agar, the resulting yeasts were then differentiated by means of rice agar and an auxanogram. Candida albicans was the germ most frequently found both on the tongue (47.5%) and in the stool (50%). We discuss the significance of our results.
