ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical features of fungal septicemia  in premature infants in a hospital， and  provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. MethodsClinical data of 18 premature infants with fungal septicemia in a hospital between January 2011 and  December 2013  were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsGestational ages of 18 premature infants were 2736 weeks, birth weights were 1 050 g-3 100 g， 8 of whom were very low birth weight  infants(VLBWI);all premature infants were treated with broadspectrum antimicrobial agents， and were given longterm parenteral nutrition before infection, 10 with mechanical ventilation，2 with peripherally inserted central catheters（PICC）. The main clinical manifestations were apnoea, twitch,  feeding difficulty, and poor reaction; manifestations appeared 3 hours52 days after birth. 13(72.22%) premature infants had abnormal white blood cell count，12(66.67%)  had thrombocytopenia (<100×109/L)，18(100.00%) had elevated Creactive protein (CRP), the average CRP level was (41.90±26.77) mg/L. The main pathogens were Candida spp.(n= 17, 94.44%），including Candida parapsilosis (n=7)， Candida albicans(n=5)， biovariety of Candida albicans(n=4)，and Candida famata (n=1)；premature infants were treated with fluconazol and  amphotericin B，15 (83.33%) were cured，2 (11.11%) improved， and 1(5.56%) died. ConclusionFungal septicemia  in premature infants are mainly caused by Candida, there is no specific clinical manifestations， clinical symptoms in premature infants with  high risk factors should be closely observed， blood routine and CRP should be detected periodically,  timely treatment with antifungal agents should be given, which are beneficial to achieve good therapeutic effect.
