Candida auris‒Associated Hospitalizations, United States, 2017–2022
Open accessAbstract
Using a large US hospital database, we describe 192 Candida auris‒associated hospitalizations during 2017-2022, including 38 (20%) C. auris bloodstream infections. Hospitalizations involved extensive concurrent conditions and healthcare use; estimated crude mortality rate was 34%. These findings underscore the continued need for public health surveillance and C. auris containment efforts.

Candida auris, a highly transmissible and frequently multidrug-resistant Candida sp., has emerged as a cause of health care-associated outbreaks and candidemia.
“In addition, Candida auris, a highly transmissible, and frequently multidrug-resistant Candida sp., has emerged as a cause of health care–associated outbreaks and candidemia (15,16).”
From Population-Based Active Surveillance for Culture-Confirmed Candidemia — 10 Sites, United States, 2017–2021 (2025) · cites this paper as [16]
The opening text of our copy (section labeled Abstract; page not provided) describes C. auris as highly transmissible and frequently drug-resistant, with transmission in healthcare settings. The Abstract also reports 38 bloodstream infections and refers to outbreak investigations. It does not establish the more specific claim that C. auris is frequently multidrug-resistant; the paper says it lacked antifungal susceptibility testing data. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
