Abstract

We would like to report a case of disseminated candidiasis quite similar to the one reported by Hill et al. in Pediatrics.¹ CASE REPORT A 1,350-gm infant girl developed severe idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome shortly after delivery. An umbilical artery catheter was inserted. By 7 hours of age mechanical ventilation was required. Cultures were obtained and antibiotic therapy instituted Mechanical ventilation continued for about six weeks. During this time peripheral hyperalimentation was given along with continuous nasogastric tube feeding.
