31.3. 2017 Sairaalapotilalla alettu havaita uutta kaikille kolmelle sienilääkeryhmille resistenttiä candida-hiiva muotoa, Candida auris.
UUSI CANDIDA auris tyyppi, resistentti kaikkia lääkkeitä vastaan.
Candida auris is an emerging fungus that presents a serious
global health threat. Healthcare facilities in several countries have
reported that C. auris has caused severe illness in
hospitalized patients. Some strains of Candida auris are
resistant to all three major classes of antifungal drugs.
This type
of multidrug resistance has not been seen before in other species of
Candida. Also of concern, C. auris can persist on
surfaces in healthcare environments and spread between patients in
healthcare facilities, unlike most other Candida species.
CDC has developed Interim
Recommendations to help prevent the spread of C. auris.
C. auris is difficult to
identify with standard laboratory methods and can be misidentified in
labs without specific technology.
CDC encourages all U.S. laboratory
staff who identify C. auris strains to notify their state or
local public health authorities and CDC at candidaauris@cdc.gov.
Find answers to frequently asked questions about C. auris on
our questions and answers page and in the Candida
auris: Interim Recommendations.
CDC is working with state and local
health departments to identify and investigate cases of C. auris.
The following map displays where C. auris cases have been
identified in the United States as of
March 16, 2017. This map will
be updated monthly. (Global incidences Map)
