摘要
A case of intrauterine fetal infection by candida, in an abortion of 4 mo., associated with an I.U.D. [intrauterine device], is presented. In the placenta and adnexa an acute inflammation consisting of extraplacental membranitis, omphalitis, chorio-amnionitis and choriovasculitis with a marked villitis and intervillitis was observed. In the fetus, involvement of the skin, lungs and pharynx was observed. This case represents, probably the 15th reported instance of congenital fetal candidiasis, and the 1st case of a candida hematogenic placental infection acquired from the fetal blood. The fetus undoubtedly acquired its infection by an ascending route, through the contamined amniotic fluid.
