"Rapid Spread of Drug-Resistant Fungal Infection Across Multiple U.S. States"
A drug-resistant fungal infection known as C. auris, which can cause deadly infections and is easily spread among hospital and nursing home patients, is now spreading across Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, with nearby Illinois at the forefront of the battle. The disease is resistant to antifungal medications, making it difficult to treat and contain. The CDC has issued warnings and is working to prevent its further spread, but it continues to pose a global health threat.
