Four cases of systemic candidiasis in premature infants with different clinical presentations are reported. Diagnosis of the condition can be difficult as clinical manifestations are non-specific and Candida may not be recovered in blood culture. The condition should be suspected in predisposed babies with unabating or deteriorating infections despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. We propose routine microscopic urinary examination for Candida as a screening test for the infection.
报告了4例临床表现各异的早产儿全身性念珠菌病病例。由于临床表现不具特异性且念珠菌可能无法在血培养中检出，该病的诊断可能存在困难。对于尽管接受了适当抗生素治疗但感染仍未减轻或恶化的易感婴儿，应怀疑患有该病。我们建议将常规尿液念珠菌镜检作为该感染的筛查试验。
