It most commonly affects patients with severe underlying medical conditions and requiring complex medical care. Patients with invasive medical devices tend to be at increased risk for getting C auris and developing infection. This article presents a case of C auris ventriculitis successfully treated with intravenous liposomal amphotericin B and oral flucytosine. A 41-year-old man with multiple comorbidities, including recent placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, presented with suspected sepsis. Candida auris was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid cultures. Antifungal therapy along with removal of the shunt led to resolution of infection without complications. This case highlights the challenges posed by C auris infections and underscores the importance of appropriate treatment strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ofid\/ofae743","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,20]],"date-time":"2024-12-20T07:41:37Z","timestamp":1734680497000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Successful Treatment of <i>Candida auris<\/i> Ventriculitis With Intravenous Liposomal Amphotericin B and Oral Flucytosine: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7801-8479","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nayoung","family":"Kang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pharmacy Department, Providence St Joseph Hospital , Orange, California ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victor Yu-Ching","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine Department, Providence St Joseph Hospital , Orange, California ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Jr","given":"Charles Christopher","family":"Bailey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medicine Department, Providence St Joseph Hospital , Orange, California ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025013005301145200_ofae743-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"601","DOI":"10.3201\/eid2503.180927","article-title":"Management of patients with Candida auris fungemia at community hospital, Brooklyn, New York, USA, 2016\u20132018","volume":"25","author":"Park","year":"2019","journal-title":"Emerg Infect Dis"},{"key":"2025013005301145200_ofae743-B2","volume-title":"Candida auris","author":"Sikora","year":"2024"},{"key":"2025013005301145200_ofae743-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"323","DOI":"10.1093\/clinids\/21.2.323","article-title":"Meningitis caused by Candida species: an emerging problem in neurosurgical patients","volume":"21","author":"Nguyen","year":"1995","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis"},{"key":"2025013005301145200_ofae743-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"33","DOI":"10.1016\/0732-8893(94)90016-7","article-title":"Candida cerebrospinal fluid shunt infection.
