Abstract: Subcutaneous abscesses in neonates are mainly caused by local infections with indwelling intravascular catheters. Candida albicans is a pathogen that is rarely associated with subcutaneous abscesses. In the present case, the patient was delivered vaginally after premature rupture of membranes for 3 weeks. The patient was a female infant with a gestational age of 32 weeks and 3 days and a birth weight of 1792 g. At 11 days of age, she experienced frequent sudden apnea attacks. A blood test revealed a mild inflammatory reaction, and sepsis was suspected.
