Area of Science:

  • Neonatal dermatology
  • Pediatric infectious diseases
  • Clinical nursing

Background:

  • Neonatal skin lesions require prompt differential diagnosis in the delivery room.
  • Congenital cutaneous candidiasis is a rare but important consideration.
  • Accurate diagnosis avoids unnecessary interventions.

Observation:

  • Infants may present with widespread macular and papular skin lesions.
  • Lesions can affect the trunk, extremities, and skin folds.
  • Congenital cutaneous candidiasis is a potential cause.

Findings:

  • Congenital cutaneous candidiasis is typically a benign superficial fungal infection.
  • It presents with characteristic skin manifestations in newborns.
  • Early identification is key to appropriate management.

Implications:

  • Awareness of congenital cutaneous candidiasis can guide neonatal nurse practitioners.
  • Early diagnosis prevents unnecessary diagnostic tests and treatments for newborns.
  • This knowledge supports evidence-based neonatal care and reduces healthcare costs.
