Impact of Candida auris on critically ill patients: a three-year observational study in a Greek intensive care unit
Open accessAbstract
Candida auris has emerged as a multidrug-resistant yeast implicated in healthcare-associated invasive infections and hospital outbreaks. The aim of the current 38-month period observational study in a multidisciplinary Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was to analyze the epidemiology, potential risk factors, management strategies, and patient outcomes of patients with C. auris. During the study period, 32 patients were identified with C. auris infection (6 patients) or colonization (26 patients) and their clinical characteristics and treatment-related factors were compared. Identification of C. auris isolates was confirmed by MALDI-TOF spectrometry. According to our results, regarding patient-related factors, no significant differences were identified. Regarding treatment-related factors, the proportion of patients already receiving corticosteroids (34.6% vs. 83.3%, p = 0.064) or being on renal replacement treatment (7.7% vs. 33.3%) was higher in infected patients. Median time elapsed from ICU admission to first positive culture was 7 (1–21) days and half of cases were ICU-imported. All strains were resistant to fluconazole and susceptible to echinocandines and amphotericin B. Crude mortality of the study population was 43.75%, similar to other previously reported candidemias. Rapid identification of C. auris, continued surveillance, and infection control practices are important elements for controlling successfully its spread in the hospital setting and for establishing promptly its transition from commensalism to infection.

Immunosuppressive medications, especially corticosteroids, have been reported to be a predisposing factor for C. auris colonization.
“Immunosuppressive medications, especially corticosteroids, have been reported to be a predisposing factor for C. auris colonization.”
From Host–Candida auris interactions in the skin (2026) · cites this paper as [54]
The Discussion (page not available) lists corticosteroid use among potential risk factors in the case series, but frames the investigation around C. auris infection, not acquisition of colonization. The Results (§3.1, page not available) compare infected with colonized patients and find higher corticosteroid use in the infected group, a difference that was not statistically significant. The paper therefore does not establish immunosuppressive medications as a predisposing factor for colonization. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredApproximately 35% of patients who received corticosteroids were associated with C. auris colonization.
“Studies assessing potential risk factors of C. auris show that ~35% of patients who received corticosteroids were associated with C. auris colonization [42,54]”
From Host–Candida auris interactions in the skin (2026) · cites this paper as [54]
Results §3.1 reports that 34.6% of colonized patients were receiving corticosteroids, compared with 83.3% of infected patients; the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.064). The claim reverses the denominator: the paper does not say that approximately 35% of patients receiving corticosteroids were colonized. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
