Abstract

Clinical data and morphological pictures of two cases of intrauterine affection of the brain with fungi of the genus Candida are presented. Tissue reactions in the brain were of productive inflammation nature and were accompanied by calcium deposition, focal hemorrhages, and the development of pseudoporencephalia. Changes in resistance of the baby occurred as indicated by hyperplasia of the lymphoid apparatus and the occurrence of nonspecific inflammation in other organs. When calcifications are found in the brains of newborn babies, it is recommended that proper examinations be done to exclude intrauterine mycosis.
