| Popis: | Candida auris (C. auris) , a globally emerging pathogen, has posed a significant threat to hospitalized individuals during the COVID-19 in Vietnam. This case series reported (1) common patterns in five patients with non-multidrug-resistant C. auris infections (multiple comorbidities, severe-to-critical illness, use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, or history of surgery/invasive procedures) and (2) high rate of C. auris -associated mortality in this medical setting (four deaths out of five cases). Further studies are needed to (1) identify risk factors for C. auris infections and mortality and (2) investigate the effects of screening and preventive measures for C. auris , especially in low-resource settings. |
