SOARES, Ricardo; VIEIRA-BAPTISTA, Pedro    TAVARES, Sara. Cytolytic vaginosis: an underdiagnosed pathology that mimics vulvovaginal candidiasis. []. , 11, 2, pp.106-112. ISSN 1646-5830.

Most physicians in this area tend to base their diagnostic evaluation on the signs, symptoms and physical examination of the patient, overlooking the microscopic evaluation of the vaginal discharge. This practice leads to a high percentage of underdiagnosed «vulvovaginitis». Cytolytic vaginosis is one of these rarely diagnosed pathologies, due to the fact that it mimics vulvovaginal candidiasis
