ABSTRACT
Neonatal liver abscess is an uncommon seen condition in neonatology and it holds a very high neonatal mortality because of difficulty in diagnosis and treatment. Till today, only few instances are reported that too are mainly in preterm. Its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. Fungal hepatic abscess is very rare and in medical literature very few case reports are there in the medical literature. Here, we report a case of Candida albicans liver abscess in a preterm neonate, secondary to malpositioned umbilical lines that presented with respiratory difficulty and other clinical features of sepsis that was managed medically and discharged successfully.
