Abstract
We present a case in which a pregnant woman was seen at 27 weeks' gestation with premature rupture of membranes and intraamniotic infection with Candida albicans, which was treated with transcervical amnioinfusion of amphotericin B. After 7 days of treatment spontaneous vaginal labor developed. A female newborn of 1030 gm was delivered. The infant was normal and did well.
