Description:

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.
