Clinical cases of C. auris noted during a COVID-19 surge led to an epidemiological, clinical, and genomic investigation. Evaluation identified a close genetic relationship but inconclusive epidemiologic link between all cases. Prolonged hospitalization due to critical illness from COVID-19 and use of antimicrobials may have contributed to clinical infections.
在新冠疫情期间,临床注意到了一些耳念珠菌病例,随后开展了一项流行病学、临床和基因组调查。评估发现所有病例之间存在密切的遗传关系,但流行病学联系不明确。因新冠导致的重病而住院时间延长以及使用抗生素可能导致了临床感染。
