Reports
of systemic candidiasis in neonates have been noted
with major advances in neonatal care permitting
the frequent survival of low birth weight infants.
We experienced 2 cases of systemic candidiasis associated
with skin involvement in very low birth weight infants.
One case presented with abdominal distension and
an erythematous maculopapular eruption on trunk,
buttock, and lower extremities. Culture of peritoneal
fluid grew Candida of albicans. In another case,
a diffuse erythematous patch was noted on the back
and buttock. Culture of blood sample grew Candida
of albicans. Despite the treatment with intravenous
fluconazole, clinical status of the patients continued
to remain unstable, and they died. |
