'Superbug' fungus spread in two cities, health officials say

Health officials have sounded alarms for years about theafter seeing infections in which commonly used drugs had little effect. In 2019, doctors diagnosed three cases in New York that were also resistant to a class of drugs, called echinocandins, that were considered a last line of defense.

In those cases, there was no evidence the infections had spread from patient to patient — scientists concluded the resistance to the drugs formed during treatment.In Washington, D.C., a cluster of 101 C. auris cases at a nursing home dedicated to very sick patients included three that were resistant to all three kinds of antifungal medications. A cluster of 22 in two Dallas-area hospitals included two with that level of resistance. The facilities weren’t identified.

Those cases were seen from January to April. Of the five people who were fully resistant to treatment, three died — both Texas patients and one in Washington. Lyman said both are ongoing outbreaks and that additional infections have been identified since April. But those added numbers were not reported.

Investigators reviewed medical records and found no evidence of previous antifungal use among the patients in those clusters. Health officials say that means they spread from person to person.

In the name of charity and good will he will truly be his brothers keeper and finder of lost souls and he will Shepard the weak through the valley of darkness!

You should go to the grocery store and buy everything that say fungi/fungus on it and see what works. If I allowed myself to live in the same dimesion as you Id be grossed out. Try Monistat. 🤦🏼‍♀️😶‍🌫️🚬

As if the news about the monkey virus thinga-ma-jiggy wasn't bad enough, now we have to worry about an untreatable fungus AND covid?

IM not the one doing it but the health dept locals in IL ignore reports of DELIBERATELY CONTAMINATING THE PUBLIC WITH all kinds of things. The police should be required to take reports but they run away. they dont want to take terrorism related reports its too costly to govt.

THIS is far more worrying than covid.

A relative got a weird fungus in her heart from her CPAP machine water. She cleans it daily. however if the tap water cleaning isnt pure so would bacteria from the water system get into your cleaned items.

Oh boy...

Fungi can spread via contact between humans, pets, human-to-pets, & vice versa. Be extra careful at petting zoos & it’s probably not a bad idea to cover dogs’ feet with something disposable for walks or wash them afterwards. I read somewhere amphibians like frogs can carry this.
