Abstract:
A unique case of disseminated candidosis in premature twins is presented where twin A developed disease soon after birth and died prior to the administration of antifungal therapy. On the other hand, twin B developed infection on the 26th day of birth but survived, though with sequelae (hydrocephalus), since he was promptly and accurately diagnosed and treated.
