Abstract
In New Delhi, India, candidemia affected 15 critically ill coronavirus disease patients admitted to an intensive care unit during April-July 2020. Candida auris accounted for two thirds of cases; case-fatality rate was high (60%). Hospital-acquired C. auris infections in coronavirus disease patients may lead to adverse outcomes and additional strain on healthcare resources.
Keywords: 2019 novel coronavirus disease; COVID-19; Candida auris; India; SARS-CoV-2; antimicrobial resistance; co-infection; coronavirus disease; nosocomial infection; respiratory infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; viruses; zoonoses.
