Congenital candidiasis (CC) is a rare disease with less than 100 cases being reported in the literature. It presents within six days of life with manifestations ranging from localized skin disease to systemic involvement in the form of respiratory distress, sepsis, and death. We report a neonate who presented with diffuse pustular eruption on erythematous background involving face, trunk, and palms within 24 h after birth. Candida albicans was identified in 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH) smear and culture from the pustules. Intravenous fluconazole and topical ketoconazole were given and the condition improved completely in two weeks. CC is rare and needs to be differentiated from other conditions presenting with pustular lesions at birth in order to avoid complications. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of this condition is important as untreated cases carry a mortality rate of 8-40%.

“…Regarding clinical presentation, the skin of the affected area is moist and painful, appears red and spotty, and is sometimes itchy; in some cases, it may be cracked or even ulcerated ( 2 , 3 ). This type of dermatitis must be differentiated from other skin conditions such as inflammatory or infectious reactions, nutrient deficiencies, and malignancies ( 1 , 3 ). Secondary infections with bacteria and fungi are common and may cause severe discomfort owing to widespread inflammation ( 5 ).…”

BackgroundDiaper dermatitis (DD) is a common inflammatory disorder in infants, including newborns.ObjectivesThis study aimed to compare the effects of a traditional medicine product (containing natural henna oil 25%) and hydrocortisone 1% cream on DD in infants.Patients and MethodsIn a triple-blind, randomized trial, 82 children aged two years or less were randomly divided into two groups of 41 children each to receive either hydrocortisone ointment or henna medicinal product. Infants were treated 3 times a day for 5 days. The severity of dermatitis was assessed on the first, third, and fifth days using a six-point scale. The study was conducted in 2013 in a children teaching hospital in Qazvin, Iran.ResultsBoth groups showed an improvement in the severity of DD (mean DD severity on the first, third and fifth days, respectively, was 3.20, 1.39, and 1.20 in the henna group versus 3.20, 2.05, and 1.90 in the hydrocortisone group; P < 0.001). The henna group showed a better response when compared with the hydrocortisone group: the rate of improvement on the fifth day of treatment was 90.2% (37 of 41 children without erythema) in the former versus 61% (25 of 41 patients) in the latter (P = 0.042). No significant side effects were observed in both the groups.ConclusionsHenna, a traditional medicine product, can be considered an effective and appropriate treatment for DD in infants and children.
