Intrauterine infection with Candida is a rare complication of pregnancy. We report a case of preterm labor associated with Candida chorioamnionitis and the subsequent delivery of an infant with congenital Candida infection. We also discuss possible factors responsible for the increased invasiveness of this usually benign condition and management considerations once the diagnosis is made.
