Successful treatment of C. auris shunt infection with intraventricular caspofungin

Successful treatment of C. auris shunt infection with intraventricular caspofungin

C. auris is an emerging fungal pathogen with high prevalence of resistance to current antifungal agents. Central nervous system infection with C. auris has been infrequently described. We describe here an adult with nosocomial CSF shunt infection due to multi drug resistant C. auris. Systemic therap...
