Here, we report the first four cases of colonization and invasive infection with\n                    <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic>\n                    reported in the Indian Ocean region. All cases were observed in the French overseas Reunion Island, a very popular destination for European travelers. Three patients had urinary tract or skin colonization, and one had a fatal invasive infection. In three cases, including that of the infected patient, the yeast was not initially identified as\n                    <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic>\n                    , preventing specific hygiene measures to be implemented as suggested in the December 2016 clinical alert to European healthcare facilities.
