KA63.2

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Neonatal candidosis

Description

A condition affecting neonates, caused by an infection with the fungi Candida. This condition is characterised by apnoea, thrombocytopenia, or decreasing respiratory function or other symptoms depending on the site of infection. Transmission is vertical (from the mother to the baby). Confirmation is by identification of Candida in a blood or urine sample.

Coding note from above levels

Conditions arising in the perinatal period, even though death or morbidity occurs later, should, as far as possible, be coded to chapter 19, which takes precedence over chapters containing codes for diseases by their anatomical site. For children less than 28 days old, assume that a reported condition developed in the perinatal period, unless the duration is stated and the onset was after the first completed week of life.
