The results of a 20-year microbiological monitoring of full-term newborns with infectious inflammatory diseases hospitalized from maternity homes of Moscow are presented. The incidence of candidiasis within that period was shown to increase 7 times at the account of the events of cutaneous and mucocutaneous candidiasis, gastrointestinal candidiasis and candidiasis of the central nervous system. One of the sources of the endogenic contamination of the newborns and infants was their intestinal microflora. In 4.6 per cent of the patients the meconium contamination by Candida was stated during the first days after the birth.
