| Abstrakt: | We present a case of recurrent multidrug-resistant Candida auris ( C . auris ) in a patient who required multiple hospitalizations. The patient's case was complicated by interval admissions to the intensive care unit for septic and hypovolemic shock for 12 months to manage C . auris fungemia. Despite adequate isolation precautions and appropriate antifungal treatment, this case demonstrates the profound implications of this emerging pathogen, specifically regarding invasive infections. Moreover, C . auris is rapidly becoming known as a multidrug-resistant organism, which limits treatment options and thus contributes to high mortality.
