Title
Cryptococcus neoformans septicemia in an immunocompetent neonate: First case report in Thailand
Neonatal infection due to Cryptococcus neoformans is extremely rare. We report a case of a 21 -day-old neonate diagnosed with cryptococcal septicemia who was successfully treated with amphotericin B. He was born to a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seronegative mother. This report alerts general pediatricians and neonatologists to consider Cryptococcus neoformans infection as a possible cause of sepsis in newborn infants.
