Peritonitis due to Candida albicans is rare in the newborn infant. Three low birthweight, extremely ill premature infants who were severely hypothermic at the time of admission developed perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. C. albicans was cultured from the peritoneal fluid in each case. In view of the rareness of C. albicans peritonitis in newborns, this cluster of infants suggests a relationship between severe neonatal hypothermia, and bowel perforation with peritonitis due to this fungus.
白色念珠菌引起的腹膜炎在新生儿中较为罕见。三名低体重、病情极重的早产儿在入院时体温严重过低，出现了胃肠道穿孔。每例患儿的腹腔积液中均培养出白色念珠菌。鉴于新生儿白色念珠菌性腹膜炎的罕见性，这组婴儿提示严重的新生儿低温与这种真菌引起的肠穿孔伴腹膜炎之间存在关联。
