    Two different studies assessed that materno-fetal contamination at time of delivery is not the usual way of colonization of newborns with Candida albicans. In a first study, occurence of Candida albicans in neonate units disappeared owing to prophylactic measures, such as strict care in hospital hygiene. In a second study, detailed herein and performed in an obstetric ward, it was found that despite a rate of vaginal Candida carrier of 19 %, candidiasis in newborns was exceptional.
