Mississippi is battling an outbreak of C. auris, a fungal infection resistant to medication, which the Department of Health says may be responsible for the deaths of four people.
by Sara DiNatale, Mississippi Today February 20, 2023 “Our investigation is ongoing and fluid,” said health department spokesperson Liz Sharlot. Sharlot said the department has identified 12 clinical cases of the infection and four “potentially associated deaths.” Both those numbers doubled since State Epidemiologist Dr. Paul Byers last gave a report about the infections to the Board of Health in January. C. auris is still rare in the United States.
