  • Title: Cryptococcus neoformans septicemia in an immunocompetent neonate: first case report in Thailand.
    Author: Nakwan N, Ngerncham S, Srisuparp P, Lapphra K, Chokephaibulkit K.
    Journal: Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health; 2008 Jul; 39(4):697-700. PubMed ID: 19058608.
    Abstract:
    Neonatal infection due to Cryptococcus neoformans is extremely rare. We report a case of a 21-day-old neonate diagnosed with cryptococcal septicemia who was successfully treated with amphotericin B. He was born to a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seronegative mother. This report alerts general pediatricians and neonatologists to consider Cryptococcus neoformans infection as a possible cause of sepsis in newborn infants.
