      abstract = {Candidiasis is a globally occurring infection found in both developed and developing nations. It manifests as thrush, invasive candidiasis, or vaginal candidiasis. Candida albicans is a fungus which causes a secondary infection known as candidiasis in mostly individuals with some underlying immune-compromised conditions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Candida albicans among pregnant and non-pregnant women, and to identify potential risk factors associated with candida albicans in women attending the Specialist Hospital Yola, Adamawa State. A total of 500 women (250 pregnant and 250 non-pregnant) were examined. Vaginal swabs were collected and cultured for Candida species. The results revealed that there is high rate of Candida albicans among pregnant women compared with non-pregnant women. The results also showed that factors associated with Candida albicans among women include: poor hygiene practice, history of antibiotic, wearing tight-fitting or non-breathable clothing on a regular, history of svaginal infection can influence candida albicans and unprotected sexual intercourse with partner who has a history of yeast infection.},
