[Congenital cutaneous candidiasis. 2 case reports]

The authors report two new observations of congenital cutaneous candidiasis (CCC). The antenatal character and modes of infection are reviewed, together with the usual clinical features. Diagnosis is based on clinical observation confirmed by biochemical tests. Evolution is generally favorable with topical antifungal treatment. As systemic pulmonary, meningeal or cerebral infection is possible, systemic antifungal therapy may be advisable.
