ABSTRACT
Although candidal infections are common in the neonatal period, less than 100 cases of Congenital Cutaneous Candidiais (CCC) have been reported in the English literature. CCC appears to be acquired in the uterus by the ascension of organisms from an infected vagina into the uterine cavity. In this report, we describe a premature baby with CCC. At 6 months, his mother had a vaginal candidial infection which was treated. Her pregnancy terminated in preterm labor at 32 weeks. Desquamated patches that involved the trunk and extremities were noted at birth. The possibility of CCC was considered and numerous psedohyphae and spores were seen in the lesions by KOH microscopic examination. The skin lesions cleared completely after 2 weeks of topical clotrimazole cream.
