A Case of Candida auris Candidemia in an Immunocompetent Traumatic Brain Injury Patient Post Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt and Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Line

Among the candida species, Candida auris (C. auris) is multidrug-resistant and is associated with invasive hospital-acquired infection and high mortality. We are going to present a case report about C. auris in an immunocompetent patient. The patient was admitted due to traumatic sub dural hemorrhag...

description Among the candida species, Candida auris (C. auris) is multidrug-resistant and is associated with invasive hospital-acquired infection and high mortality. We are going to present a case report about C. auris in an immunocompetent patient. The patient was admitted due to traumatic sub dural hemorrhage and during the hospital course he developed fever. Blood cultures grew C. auris. Our aim is to raise awareness regarding C. auris for early detection and prevention of hospital-acquired transmission of the infection.
