Clonal outbreak of Candida vulturna in a paediatric oncology ward in Maranhão, Brazil
This study describes an outbreak due to the rare yeast C. vulturna, related to C. auris, during a four-month period in patients admitted to a paediatric oncology ward in a Brazilian hospital. In contrast to previous studies the yeast was susceptible to all antifungals and patient outcome was good.
