Neonatal hepatic abscess (NHA) is a fatal condition in neonates. NHA can be caused by many organisms including bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Fungal NHA is a rare but troublesome cause in terms of diagnosis and treatment. We present three cases of fungal NHA caused by Candida. In these three cases, different underlying problems associated with NHA had been found.
