NY cases of potentially deadly fungal infection trend up after CDC warning. Details here
describes it as an"emerging" fungus that"presents a serious global health threat" for three primary reasons: Candida auris is often multidrug-resistant ; it's easily misidentified in labs without specific technology, which could impair public health management; and it has caused outbreaks in healthcare settings, which are of particular concern given their more at-risk populations.
few states have seen such rampant spread as New York, where a 2013 case was retroactively identified as America's first, and New Jersey.last year, CDC data shows. Federal data only covers the period ending Dec. 31, 2022, so there's not yet a comparative reference point for 2023. Weekly data is available by U.S. state, but the CDC says that's incomplete because not all state health departments report it.
Newly released May data for New York state shows clinical case numbers continue to rise by double-digit percentage points, though the rate of increase is slowing slightly. The Big Apple's 149 clinical cases confirmed as of May 25, 2023, mark an increase of 42% since the last data update in early April. That follows a 46% month-over-month increase from March to April. So far, the 2023 total is 39% of the record-setting 379 cases from 2022 -- and there are six months left to go in 2023.
