A 2.5 kg thoracopagus (Siamese) twin and a 0.73 kg premature newborn developed systemic candidiasis and were treated with intravenous miconazole. The conjoined twin was in a state of severe metabolic acidosis, respiratory distress, jaundice, anuria, abdominal distension, and shock. The 0.73 kg premature infant was also in a state of severe metabolic acidosis, respiratory distress, and oliguria. Miconazole was used in this desperate situation for the treatment of life-threatening candidiasis. Both infants responded well to treatment and recovered. All parameters of their diseases improved during therapy despite pre-existing multiple organ dysfunction. Miconazole can be a safe alternative to amphotericin B for the treatment of systemic candidiasis in neonatal infants, including those with impaired renal function.
