Popis: A male neonate born after spontaneous labor during the 25 3/7 week of gestation, developed a fatal course of disseminated candidiasis. Disseminated candidiasis is seen in newborns undergoing intensive care and has a high mortality rate. Important etiologic factors are low immunologic response, invasive monitoring techniques, systemic antibiotics and parenteral nutrition. Early diagnosis and efficient antimycotic therapy with amphotericin B and if necessary combined with flucytosine contribute a great deal to the chance of survival.
