ABSTRACT
Candida sepsis during pregnancy is a rare but life-threatening complication of infection with Candida albicans. In contrast to the situation with other antimicrobial agents, there exists only limited experience with systemic antifungal therapy during pregnancy. A recent report focuses on amphotericin B treatment in systemic fungal infection during pregnancy. The present report discusses a pregnant patient with Candida albicans sepsis and endophthalmitis as well as candida infection of the oral and genital mucous membranes, after hyperalimentation and broad spectrum antibiotic therapy via a central venous catheter. The patient was treated with 10 mg/kg fluconazole from week 16 of gestation for a total duration of 50 days. Adverse effects did not occur and the rest of the pregnancy proceeded favourably for both the mother and the baby.
