You might not be aware of this but there has been an outbreak of a super fungus called Candida auris in South East Asian countries, Europe, the United States and Europe. Candida auris has infected 11 victims and has caused two deaths in Singapore.
It is a cause of concern because this super fungus is so strong that it is resistant multiple antifungal drugs and has caused outbreaks in healthcare settings. Candida auris can cause a few infections to a human’s body- bloodstream infections, wound infections, ear infections and suspected lung or bladder infections.
Not to insert fear in you, but if you’ve been warded in a hospital before, you already have a one in nine chance of catching a bug in the hospital.
“Patients in every single bed in eight public and five private hospitals were involved, including those in intensive care. Together they accounted for more than 86 per cent of acute care beds in the country in 2014.” -Straits Times Singapore
This means that if you’ve been warded in a public hospital, you have a higher chance of contracting this super fungus. However, specifically men, older people and surgery patients are the ones at higher risk. Surgery patients have 1.8 times the risk of other patients while men have 1.5 times the risk of infection than women.
How can you tell if you have Candida auris? It can only be diagnosed with a laboratory test. However, the most common and obvious symptoms would be having chills and fever that would not go away even after antibiotic treatment.
The most common and important question would be how can we prevent Candida auris from continuous spreading and infecting us or our loved ones? Practising proper hygiene is essential. Close your mouth when sneezing or coughing or keeping your hands clean by sanitizing or washing with soap and water will help reduce the spread amongst people around you.
If you or a family member had been warded in a hospital, it is best to get your living space quality and clean air because bacteria and superfungal can be spread through airborne as well.
