A case series of Candidozyma auris in Viet Nam

Candidozyma auris is an emerging health threat, especially in healthcare settings due to its resistance to several classes of antifungals leading to high mortality. In Viet Nam, the burden of this fungal pathogen is unknown because of little available data. In this report, six cases with C. auris isolation between 2023 and 2024 at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases, a tertiary referral hospital in northern Viet Nam, are described. Our findings highlight the first report of C. auris in the north of Viet Nam and underscore the importance of prevalence surveys in the future.
