Two different studies assessed that materno-fetal contamination at time of delivery is not the usual way of colonization of newborns with Candida albicans. In a first study, occurence of Candida albicans in neonate units disappeared owing to prophylactic measures, such as strict care in hospital hygiene. In a second study, detailed herein and performed in an obstetric ward, it was found that despite a rate of vaginal Candida carrier of 19 %, candidiasis in newborns was exceptional.
两项不同的研究评估得出，分娩时母婴传播并非新生儿感染白色念珠菌的常见途径。在第一项研究中，由于采取了预防性措施，如严格的医院卫生护理，新生儿病房中白色念珠菌的感染情况消失了。在第二项研究中（本文详述，在产科病房进行），发现尽管阴道念珠菌携带者的比例为19%，但新生儿念珠菌病却很罕见。
