Reacción a "Candida auris infections in Spain are the highest in Europe over the last decade, according to an ECDC report"

This report by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) summarizes the results of the C. auris 2024 survey, showing the continued and rapid spread of this pathogenic yeast across Europe, which already reached the state of regional endemicity in some of the countries in only a few (five to seven) years of time. The report counts with valuable input from numerous consulted national experts and emphasizes the importance of national surveillance systems and guidance for infection prevention and control measures.

In the light of the current rapid spread of C. auris in Europe and beyond, this report is highly useful to increase awareness of this growing health problem and to close gaps of national preparedness still existent in several European countries.
