Congenital cutaneous candidiasis is a rare and usually benign disorder
that develops within the first week of life. We report a preterm neonate
with skin diffuse maculopapular lesions at birth. Candida Albicans was
isolated from skin and gastrointestinal fluid culture. Antifungal
treatment was initiated with skin lesions resolution.
