Between 2020 and 2021, Candida auris spread at an alarming rate in healthcare facilities in the United States.
CDC called it "a concern for the rapid increase in cases and geographical spread, and emphasized the need for continued surveillance, expanded laboratory capacity, accelerated diagnostic testing, and adherence to proven infection prevention and control." ”
In hospitals in the United States, the number of cases of Candida auris infection, a dangerous fungus, has risen sharply. The fungus is resistant and can be fatal to immunocompromised people (fatality rates range from 30% to 60%). More than half of the U.S. states have now detected cases. The data appeared in a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), published in the professional journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
According to the analysis of relevant health departments in the United States, the reason for the recent surge in cases of such fungi in the United States may be related to the weak infection prevention measures in health institutions and the lack of enhanced screening.
And all of this will get worse due to the pressure on the public health system following the Covid-19 pandemic.
With regard to the widespread spread of Candida auris, it has been suggested that its transformation from an environmental fungus to an infected host fungus may be related to rising global temperatures.
But in fact, scientists from various countries have not found the existence of this fungus in nature... (And the fungus was isolated in the human ear in 2009, that is...) It is very likely that American biological laboratories around the world will synthesize this fungus! [Think])
What's even more deadly is that there are very few treatments for this fungus in the world, and the few classes of antifungal drugs can also cause serious harm to the human body itself... [Nose picking]
Widespread transmission in the United States + not found in nature + resistance + 30%-60% fatality rate ...
Could it be that the plot of the global spread of fungi in TV dramas and games is about to be staged in the real world!?
WHO (World Health Organization) hurry up to pay attention to it! Let this germ not leave the United States and spread to the world! [Shocked]
