  • Title: Congenital cutaneous candidiasis--report of two cases.
    Author: Hung FC, Huang CB, Huang SC, Liu ST.
    Journal: Changgeng Yi Xue Za Zhi; 1994 Mar; 17(1):63-7. PubMed ID: 8205500.
    Abstract:
    Candida infection contracted in utero and manifested at birth is a rare event. Two newborn infants are presented with generalized maculopapular rashes at birth. The eruption soon became vesicles or pustules; no other manifestations were found. Candida albicans was isolated from the skin lesion. After topical antifungal application, the lesions became fine and desquamated in the recuperative period. No complication was noted during the course. The diagnosis of congenital cutaneous candidiasis relies on its clinical course and positive culture result of the skin lesion. No systemic antifungal therapy is recommended except for the high risk infants.
