After adjusting for BV, bacterial STIs, and HSV-2 serology, women with low Candida colonization had significantly higher frequencies of CD4+ T cells (β = 12.87, P = 0.027) and CCR6– CCR10– T cells (β = 10.56, P = 0.019) but lower frequencies of Th17-like cells (β = −10.27, P = 0.026) compared to women without Candida colonization, and similar trends seen in women with high Candida colonization and those who had hyphae present compared to those without (Fig. 2B). The gene discussed is CCR10; the disease is bacterial vaginosis.
