ABSTRACT
Clinical profile of extreme preterm neonates and more so, of microprimies with birth weightâ¯<â¯800â¯g is not studied till now. Our article elaborates the profile of 5 microprimies with C.auris sepsis and review of literature. The mean gestational age and birth weight were 26 weeks ± 5 days and 709⯱â¯64â¯g respectively. Mortality was 80%. The organism was susceptible to micafungin, voriconazole but was resistant to fluconazole and amphotericin. Among the 5 babies, one had organ involvement in the form of cardiac vegetation. Early identification and optimal choice of drug are crucial for better survival in C.auris sepsis.
