Abstract
The incidence of Candida meningitis in the neonatal period is increasing, and 63% of reported patients have either died or are mentally retarded. We report a newborn with Candida meningitis and arthritis who did well after treatment with intravenous and intrathecal amphotericin B, along with oral flucytosine.Keywords
