#CDC started warning about a new drug resistant hard to detect fungal outbreak #CandidaAuris which when infected about 30%-60% patients died with complications.
Data published yesterday show #CandidaAuris spread at an alarming rate in health care facilities from 2020-2021. For more on Candida auris, see this December 2022 JAMA Medical News story on the origins and spread of this resistant fungus.https://foxdeo.com/B3Ae.tnk
No kidding... “The fungus, called #CandidaAuris, preys primarily on older people with weakened immune systems and is particularly dangerous because it resists treatment by common antifungal medications.”
