Owing to the often benign and self-limited course in full-term
infants, underdiagnosis is likely to occur, so the real incidence of
this congenital infection is not well known.
In this report, we describe a full-term infant with congenital
candidiasis and discuss clinical and diagnostic features as well as
some therapeutic implications, which we think are particularly
relevant in this patient, and can provide further insights into this
unusual neonatal infection.
