Serious New Super Fungus Infection Called Candida Auris!! You Get It, Almost Certainly Will Die! Informing PAP Gan Kim Yong Immediately!

[JohnTan]

NEW YORK (NYTIMES) - A mysterious and dangerous fungal infection called Candida auris has emerged around the world. It is resistant to many anti-fungal medications, placing it among a growing number of germs that have evolved defences against common medicines.

Here are some basic facts about it.

WHAT IS CANDIDA AURIS?
Candida auris is a fungus that, when it gets into the bloodstream, can cause dangerous infections that can be life-threatening. Scientists first identified it in 2009 in a patient in Japan.


In recent years, it has emerged around the world, largely in hospitals and nursing homes. There have been 587 cases reported in the United States, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, most of them in New York, New Jersey and Illinois.

WHY IS IT SO DANGEROUS?
Candida auris is often resistant to major anti-fungal drugs that are typically used to treat such infections. The CDC says that more than 90 per cent of Candida auris infections are resistant to at least one such drug, while 30 per cent are resistant to two or more major drugs. Once the germ is present, it is hard to eradicate from a facility. Some hospitals have had to bring in special cleaning equipment and even rip out floor and ceiling tiles to get rid of it.

WHO IS AT RISK?
People with compromised or weakened immune systems are the most vulnerable. This includes elderly people and people who are already sick; in at least one case, newborns were infected at a neonatal unit.

People with weakened immunity are likely to have more trouble fighting off an initial invasion by Candida auris and are also likely to be in settings such as hospitals and nursing homes, where the infection is more prevalent.

WHY HAVE PEOPLE NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS?
The rise of Candida auris has been little publicised in part because it is so new. Outbreaks have also, at times, been played down or kept confidential by hospitals, doctors and even governments.

Some hospitals and medical professionals argue that because precautions are taken to prevent the spread, publicising an outbreak would scare people unnecessarily.

CAN I DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT MYSELF?
The symptoms of Candida auris - fever, aches and fatigue - are not unusual, so it is hard to recognise the infection without testing. The good news is that the threat of becoming sick with it is very low for healthy people going about their daily lives.

If you or a loved one is in a hospital or nursing home, you can ask if there have been cases of Candida auris there. If so, it is reasonable to request that proper "infection control" precautions are taken.

In the US, this question would be most relevant in New York, New Jersey and Illinois, specifically Chicago, where the germ has been concentrated.

specifically Chicago, where the germ has been concentrated.

This is what happens when you become a sanctuary city.

Mother-Planet earth is still not doing a good enough job of cleaning the universe's most dangerous toxic and destructive pest = earth-man, which is rotting away the planet and the universe, exhausting resources, causing pollution and destruction, over growth like the worst infection infecting the planet & polluting moon & Mar etc. Universe need a very strong and instantaneous cleaning of earth-man or what Chow Ang Moh called HUMANITY. To save universe, and all the other forms of lives threatened and caused to extinct by fucking Toxic Idea call HUMANITY.

Earth must brew a kind of virus to eat away billions of earth-man, which no drug they can find to heal, spreads 1000X more rapidly and thoroughly than SARS, no initial signs and symptoms conceal from all detection but spreads widely and rapidly, and after a year or so suddenly erupt into lethal epidemic uncontrollable and too late to quarantine - billions will be gone within just days.

This will save the universe.

Of course it's libtard Chicongo, who always vote for the Dems.

hanor, and in addition, they always knock three times on the dem ceiling - causing a blardy ruckus

抗藥性超強！超級細菌波及全球　感染90天內死亡

近年來全球醫療系統越來越依賴抗生素，也導致具有抗藥性的病菌出現，且趨於頑強，像是近期發現的「耳念珠菌」(Candida auris)，就具有強大的抗藥性，一旦病患感染後，不僅難以根治，還有一半的病人在染病90天內死亡，美國聯邦疾病防治中心更將此列為「緊急威脅」細菌名單。

綜合外媒報導，紐約有一位老人去年5月間在醫院開刀時，被發現感染「耳念珠菌」，遭立即送至重症病房，沒想到最後他仍在90天內宣告不治，而病患居住的病房竟然也佈滿耳念珠菌，包含牆壁、病床、電話等等，醫護人員透過特殊的殺菌設備，並且拆掉天花板、地板，才將細菌完全消滅。

一旦感染上耳念珠菌，死亡率高達30%至60%，尤其是免疫系統較差的新生兒、老年人以及病人，會有更高的致死率，有超過一半的病患會在90天內死亡；聯邦疾病防治中心表示，有90%的耳念珠菌對1種抗生素的具有抗藥性，30%則是高達2種以上的抗生素擁有抗藥性，而目前美國已有587件病例。

華盛頓大學醫學院估計，美國每年因感染抗藥菌死亡的人約有16萬人，全球則是有70萬人，而根據英國的研究顯示，若不設法減緩具抗藥性的細菌出現，2025年全球將恐會有1000萬人因此喪命，也會超過死於癌症的800萬人。公共衛生專家也警告，若現行醫療系統不降低對抗生素的依賴，未來恐怕會有更危險的抗藥病菌出現。

In recent years, the global medical system has become increasingly dependent on antibiotics, which has also led to the emergence of drug-resistant germs, which tend to be tenacious. For example, the recently discovered Candida auris has strong resistance to disease once patients After the infection, it is not only difficult to cure, but half of the patients died within 90 days of the disease. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention listed this as an "emergency threat" list of bacteria.

According to a comprehensive foreign media report, an elderly person in New York was found to have been infected with "Candida albicans" when he was in the hospital last May. He was immediately sent to the intensive care unit. He did not expect that he would still be cured within 90 days and the patient lived. The ward is also covered with Candida albicans, including walls, beds, telephones, etc., the medical staff through the special sterilization equipment, and the ceiling and floor are removed, the bacteria are completely eliminated.

Once infected with Candida albicans, the mortality rate is as high as 30% to 60%, especially for newborns, the elderly and patients with poor immune system, and there will be a higher mortality rate. More than half of the patients will die within 90 days. The Federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that 90% of Candida albicans is resistant to one antibiotic, and 30% is up to two or more antibiotics resistant, and there are currently 587 cases in the United States.

The University of Washington School of Medicine estimates that there are about 160,000 people killed by drug-resistant bacteria each year in the United States and 700,000 people worldwide, and according to British research, if you don’t try to slow down the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, 2025 The world will fear that 10 million people will die, and more than 8 million people will die from cancer. Public health experts have also warned that if the current medical system does not reduce its dependence on antibiotics, there may be more dangerous drug-resistant bacteria in the future.
