The first cases of Candida auris candidaemia in Oman
Mycoses.

Abstract
Candida auris has been recognised as a problematic healthcare-associated emerging yeast which is often misidentified as Candida haemulonii by commercial systems. Correct early identification of C. auris is important for appropriate antifungal treatment and implementing effective infection control measures. Here we report emergence of the first C. auris cases in Oman, initially misidentified as C. haemulonii.
Keywords: Candida auris; Oman; candidaemia; emerging pathogen.
