Lack of Candida africana in Ugandan pregnant women: results from a pilot study using MALDI-ToF
The prevalence of C. africana in Uganda is zero. However, large-scale cross-sectional studies, including studies involving the collection of vaginal samples from both urban and rural settings in Uganda and the use of both MALDI-TOF- and PCR-based laboratory methods, are needed to fully describe the public health burden of C. africana infections.
