The First Report of Infection in Vietnam.

UNLABELLED

Infection caused by ha s rapidly become a global health threat. created a significant healthcare burden due to various complicating factors, including misidentification by commercial identification methods, potent antifungal resistance, high mortality rates and the possibility of nosocomial outbreaks through direct contact. In Vietnam, there are currently no clinical reports on infections. Here, we present four clinical cases of infections in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine of Cho Ray Hospital in southern Vietnam. Through this report, we aim to highlight the attention to the emergence of in Vietnam. Further research on infections is warranted, focusing on newly observed clinical characteristics present in all cases in this report, including hypoalbuminaemia and corticosteroid usage. Moreover, one case of resistance to amphotericin B has been identified, possibly due to prior exposure to this antifungal agent.
