Management of Candida auris in an inpatient acute rehabilitation setting.

Candida auris is an emerging, multidrug-resistant yeast that is considered a threat to patients and health care facilities worldwide. As the incidence of C auris increases, the management of patients with C auris will expand beyond acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities. We discuss the infection prevention measures implemented to prevent the transmission of Candida auris on an inpatient acute rehabilitation unit while ensuring that appropriate patient care was provided.
