Spectrum of infection and outcomes in individuals with Candida auris infection in Qatar.

Background: We investigated the spectrum of infection and risk factors for invasive fungal disease due to Candida auris (CA) in Qatar.

Methods: We performed structured chart reviews on individuals with any positive CA culture between May 2019 and December 2022 at three tertiary care hospitals in Qatar. Invasive CA disease (ICAD) was defined as a positive sterile site culture, or any positive culture for CA with appropriate antifungal prescription.
