Dr. Raghavendra Tirupathi, Medical Director of Keystone Infectious Diseases, recently wrote an article for the national publication The Hospitalist, the official news magazine of the Society of Hospital Medicine.
The article discusses Candida auris, which is “an emerging, often multidrug-resistant yeast that causes invasive infections (such as bloodstream, intra-abdominal) and is transmitted in health care settings.”
In the article, Dr. Tirupathi wrote “It is essential for hospitalist physicians to be aware of this emerging pathogen and also of the interventions needed to curb its spread, given they are the frontline warriors in the fight against hospital-acquired infections.”
