ABSTRACT
Identified risk factors for neonatal candidemia are low-birth weight, use of a central venous catheter, parenteral nutrition, and broad spectrum antibiotics. Candidemia is also the source of considerable morbidity endophthalmitis, meningitis, brain abscess, endocarditis, and renalare all examples of the potential consequences of candidemia abscess. In this study, we report a premature infant case whose candidemia involving candidal meningitis and multiple brain microabscesses was completely remedied through antifungal therapy without any onset of neurodevelopmental disability.
