ARLINGTON, Va. (WJLA) — A potentially deadly superbug fungus has been spreading in the United States and worldwide. The latest count from the Centers for Disease Control showed nearly 600 cases of the drug-resistant Candida auris in 12 states, including Maryland and Virginia.
Considered a “serious global threat,” cases have been confirmed in every continent in the world. In the U. S., most of the cases are in New York City, Chicago, and New Jersey.
Candida auris can cause different kinds of infections, including bloodstream infection, wound infection, and ear infection. Most cases occur in patients in hospitals and nursing homes who have weakened immune systems.
"Based on information from a limited number of patients, 30 – 60% of people with C. auris infections have died. However, many of these people had other serious illnesses that also increased their risk of death," the CDC said in a statement.

Does it bother you to know that CDC is a "for profit" entity?
Yea just let any/everone in the country. I guess Jake Day is right "I do fear change" when it's for the worse
Coincidence this is where majority of ms-13 illegals are located??
Highly infectious . Not only do the bodies need to be burned but the linens the walls the ceilings. Entire wards quarantined. Over population and filth in general and over use and abuse of antibiotics LOL there are even weeds now evolved to be Round Up resistant and your worried about abortion. Pray on people.
Armageddon baby! I can't wait until shut busts loose git a few paybacks to take care of before I check out
Democrats do not see the connection between sudden surge of infectious disease since the illegals have started their mass invasion. This illegals should be shipped to all these Politian's neighborhoods.
I looked this up on a few websites and they say it is found in healthcare facilities, but it does not give much info on how or where it originates. Forgive my ignorance, but can anyone give insight on how it grows and where the fungus naturally occurs other than "healthcare facilities". Can anyone elaborate?
What ?
Genetically modified Ebola anyone??????????????? Or Genetically modified flue virus like the H1N1 at the time...
Hmmmm, brought here by who?
