Officials continue to recommend screening of patients and isolation of cases On August 1, 2022, a memorandum was released alerting staff within health care facilities, laboratory-based public health professionals and health care providers of the continued increase in Candida auris (C. auris) cases observed in Southern Nevada, as well as the recommendation to isolate and screen patients. As of August 31, 2022, there are 484 cases (192 clinical and 292 colonization) in 26 facilities (19 hospitals and 7 skilled nursing facilities) in Southern Nevada.
The Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) continues to recommend that all patients from this area be put on isolation precautions and screened for C. auris based on the facility’s resources and staffing. Please note that such patients may also be coinfected with other multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). Screening for carbapenem-resistant and carbapenem-producing organisms in addition to C. auris can assist with the containment of these organisms. Below is a list of facilities in Southern Nevada that identified C. auris patients through point prevalence screening, clinical testing or have admitted known C. auris patients. If a facility is not listed, it means that C. auris patients were not identified in that facility at the time this document was published. Facilities should ensure that communication is clear when discharging or admitting known C. auris patients or patients positive with other MDROs. An interfacility transfer form can assist in communicating this information to case managers and infection preventionists. Resources for C. auris and the interfacility transfer form can be accessed under the "Candida auris" section of the HAI web page linked here. For additional questions, concerns and assistance with accessing screening materials through the Nevada State Public Health Lab, contact the Healthcare Associated Infection Program at [email protected].
