  • Cases of Candida Auris are growing in the U.S., prompting an alert by the CDC. University of Maryland Infectious Disease Physician Dr. Anthony Harris explains the danger of infections caused by Candida Auris - a fungus that can spread easily in hospitals and nursing homes. Steps are being taken to prevent this emerging pathogen from becoming a major public health problem.
    The University of Maryland School of Medicine serves as the anchor for a large academic health center which aims to provide the best medical education, conduct the most innovative biomedical research and provide the best patient care and community service to Maryland and beyond.

    Ok so we have an outbreak of this at a facility that I work, and I didn't know that it can be in the respiratory tract. When we say wear your PPE with these patients please put it all on, and FYI I never violate HIPAA Law. I'm a protector.

    My father-in-law is in the ICU, and they diagnosed him with this. He's not doing great. At this point, he's at the mercy of his doctors, but there's so much going on with him. We don't know what to do. They said they have to do a trach now because he can't be intubated for so long, his extremities were purple from some medication they were giving him, so now they have to amputate his pinky toe and half his big toe. He's been on dialysis because his kidneys are not great to start with, plus he's diabetic.
    I'm not sure why I'm commenting all this... I guess I'm just looking for something positive. Maybe someone comments with some advice.. i don't know.

    First... You have to get a Doctor to take you seriously, when you see them !
    I saw a Doctor for a "Fungal Infection". He brushed me off, never even doing an Oral Culture for yeast.
    I am now feeling like dying from a Systemic Yeast Infection which caused a Biofilm.
    Thank you University of MD. ENT !!!

      This video makes no sense. How is a yeast infection spread through clothing and touch? It's not how Candida works. If you have Candida, look up The "NAC Cosmic Death Fungus protocol". Three simple supplements that you take for two months to kill it.

      Hi. I too am convinced I have a serious biofilm-problem that is seriously detrimental to my health. 4 years in now and still can't get help. Nobody has a clue. I've seen all the doctors and done all the tests and examinations. Everyone is just like "Tests came back negative. Sorry, don't know what's wrong withcha. Byeeee"
