The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working overtime on last ditch efforts to scare us over the latest outbreak. Here are some of the alarm bells they’ve sounded.
A Fungus Among Us
Candida auris is a form of yeast. It generally poses no threat to healthy people, but can pose a serious threat to patients who are already weak due to other health conditions. Cases generally occur in hospitals and healthcare facilities like nursing homes. People are at risk IF (and it’s a big if) the Candida enters the bloodstream. The risk to these patients is further complicated if the yeast becomes resistant to at least one type of antifungal drug, making it much trickier to treat.
