Candida auris is a multiresistant yeast, cause of nosocomial infections, with a high morbidity
and mortality rate. We present a descriptive, retrospective, unicentric study that includes the
cases of candidaemia from October 2017 to June 2020, as well as the main characteristics of
the patients and the treatments used. We identified 47 patients with a mean age of 61 years
(SD 16.3), male predominance (76.1%) and variable comorbidity (mean Charlson index 3,
SD 2). 91.3% of the patients had at least one risk factor for candidaemia (28.3% diabetes,
26.1% neoplasia, 4.3% immunosuppression, 17.4% renal replacement therapy, 15.2%
parenteral nutrition, 52.2% surgery, 21.7% sepsis and 84.8% central venous catheter), with a
mean candida score of 1.6356 (SD 1.1341). Combined treatment was received by 47.8% of
the patients, the most frequent combination being amphotericin B + anidulafungin. Median
duration of the treatment was 21 days (IQ 15-25). Mortality at day 30 was 23.9%.
Candidemia persisted after 7 days of directed antifungal therapy in 19.6% and 11.7%
presented a second episode, with no differences between the different treatment options.
Further studies are needed to identify the optimal treatment for these infections.
