This case report details Candida tropicalis chorioamnionitis in a pregnancy at 25 weeks. It is the first known antenatal diagnosis of this fungal infection with confirmed congenital transmission.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Mycology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Chorioamnionitis, an infection of the amniotic sac, poses significant risks to both mother and fetus.
  • Candida tropicalis is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that can cause invasive infections.

Observation:

  • A rare case of Candida tropicalis chorioamnionitis was identified at 25 weeks' gestation.
  • This represents the first documented instance of antenatal diagnosis of C. tropicalis infection leading to confirmed congenital infection.

Findings:

  • The study presents a unique case of fungal chorioamnionitis caused by Candida tropicalis.
  • Confirmation of congenital infection highlights the potential for vertical transmission of this pathogen.

Implications:
