Morphological examinations of 58 autopsy cases of visceral candidiasis in newborns were performed. Direct correlation between the severity of thymus lesions and the degree of changes in organs produced by candidiasis was observed. The most severe candidiasis was found in cases of congenital immunodeficiency. This suggests that the morphological features of candidiasis may be the manifestation of immunodeficiency state.
