Abstract
We present a case of a full-term neonate born with respiratory distress and a widespread erythematous rash, who was found to have congenital cutaneous candidiasis (CCC). The significance of this report is to contribute to the pre-existing literature on the rarity of CCC, but also to share a case of a patient who was successfully treated conservatively with topical antifungal agents only.
