Abstract



We report a case of neonatal cutaneous candidiasis on the right forearm in a 24-day-old infant. She showed well-defined 1.0×0.8 cm & 0.5×0.4 cm-sized erythematous patches with pustules and vesicles on the right forearm. The diagnosis was confirmed by 15% KOH preparation of the lesion, fungal culture and germ tube test. The 15% KOH preparation of the lesion showed numerous pseudohyphae and blastospores and fungal culture from the lesions on Sabouraud's dextrose agar containing antibacterial antibiotics showed white creamy colonies. The germ tube test revealed germ tube formation of Candida albicans. Skin biopsy was not available because of parents were not wanted. She had been treated with topical lanoconazole and lesions were improved, and recurrence is not observed.
