INTRODUCTION
Congenital cutaneous candidiasis (CCC) is a rare fungal infection caused
by ascending intrauterine infection from Candida spp. The clinical
presentation takes place within the first 24 hours to the first week of
life1-2. It is secondary to membrane rupture,
chorioamnionitis, or on account of vertical transmission during labor in
mothers with Candida infection 3. Literature around
this condition is limited, with only a few case reports. Currently,
there are no studies registered in Colombia regarding CCC, therefore
this is a pioneering case report in the country.
