Number of confirmed clinical cases of Candida auris in New York, USA, May 2013–April 2017. Dates indicate the month that the first sample positive for C. auris was collected. The cases from May 2013, April 2016, and June 2016 were retrospectively identified after the June 2016 clinical alert from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was issued (19). The case from 2013, in a patient who had traveled to New York City from abroad for medical care, was probably a distinct importation with no further spread.
