Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics as well as infection prevention and control strategies of patients with Candida auris(C.auris)infection/colonization.Methods Clinical characteristics as well as preven-tion and control measures of patients detected with C.auris in a general hospital from September 2023 to March 2024 were analyzed,prevention and control measures were evaluated.Results A total of 9 patients were detected C.auris,and the specimen sources were urine from 5 cases(55.56％),sputum from 3 cases(33.33％),and ab-dominal drainage fluid from 1 case(11.11％).There were 5 cases of community-associated infection(55.56％),3 cases of community colonization(33.33％),and 1 case of hospital colonization(11.11％).There were 5 cases of deaths(55.56％),3 cases of discharges(33.33％),and 1 case of transfer(11.11％).Through measures such as training,early warning,single-room isolation,personal protection,hand hygiene,environmental cleaning and disin-fection and strengthening supervision on sampling process,supervising sampling detection and screening,terminal disinfection,and ensuring a qualified detection result of specimens before admitting new patients,no C.auris was detected from patient's surrounding environment sampling,and no cross-transmission occurred in the hospital.Conclusion Paying attention to the implementation of prevention and control measures for C.auris infection can effectively control the occurrence and cross transmission of healthcare-associated infection.
