The aim of study was to create awareness, clinical presentation of the C. albieans vaginosis in Sabah. This study has also reviewed the pathogenesis, laboratory diagnosis and antibiotic therapy. Over the last 3 months there have been 57 reported cases of C. albieans vaginosis in Likas Hospital, Kota Kinabalu. Eighteen (31.6%) Kadazan, 15 (26.3%) were Bajau, 8 (14%) Chinese, 4 (7%) Indonesian, 1 (1.8%) Malay, Indian, Philippines and others 9 (15.8%) respectively were positive to C. albicans.
