ABSTRACT

Though several pathologic processes can produce large denuded skin lesions in very low birthweight infants, trauma is often diagnosed without further investigation. Failure to consider other causes may prevent institution of appropriate specific treatment and may contribute to the development of serious complications, as described in the present case report of a premature infant with congenital cutaneous candidiasis.
