This case report describes the outbreak of candidemia caused by non-albicans Candida (NAC) species, which within a short period of 11 days, affected six neonates housed in the same room of neonatal intensive care unit of a rural tertiary care center in Uttarakhand state, India. The NAC species isolated showed complete resistance to azole compounds tested. All the neonates were having central venous catheters at the time of diagnosis, received total parenteral nutrition and were on broad spectrum antibiotics. Though two neonates survived the infection, but four of them had an unfortunate outcome and they died despite of aggressive therapy with amphotericin B. It was concluded that candidemia was associated with previously described risk factors and that poor infection control practices were likely responsible for outbreak.
