BACKGROUND: Candida auris (also referred to as Candidozyma auris) is an emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen associated with high morbidity and mortality. Existing infection prevention and control (IPC) guidance has largely focused on adult populations, with limited recommendations for pediatric healthcare and non-healthcare settings.
METHODS: The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) convened a multidisciplinary expert panel to develop IPC recommendations for C. auris. The panel developed recommendations using a structured, iterative Delphi consensus process with rounds of discussion, refinement, and anonymous electronic voting with predefined consensus thresholds. Panelists reviewed relevant peer-reviewed and gray literature integrated with expert judgment and practical considerations. Preambles and remarks provide additional context and guidance.
RESULTS: This consensus statement provides recommendations for prevention of C. auris in pediatric acute care settings, non-acute healthcare settings, and non-healthcare congregate settings. Recommendations incorporate pediatric risk factors and care and address screening practices, isolation precautions, caregiver-infant/child dyad considerations, room placement and rooming in, breastfeeding and skin-to-skin practices, visitation, use of shared spaces, environmental cleaning and disinfection, and management of medical and non-medical equipment, including toys. Recommendations emphasize coordination with local infection prevention and public health partners.
CONCLUSIONS: This SHEA consensus statement addresses gaps in pediatric-specific IPC guidance for C. auris. The recommendations provide a practical framework to support prevention of transmission within the context of pediatric clinical, developmental, and family-centered care.
