Cover Story: Candida (C.) auris is a fungal pathogen; it is considered to be an emerging global health threat due to its rapid spread across the world and the emergence of strains that are resistant to multiple antifungal agents, thereby causing hospital infections in pediatric and adult populations, particularly in ICUs. Despite its widespread impact, there is a limited understanding of the clinical course and transmission dynamics of neonatal systemic C. auris infections, thereby hindering their effective prevention and management. Hence, there is a clinical need to understand the pathogenesis of C. auris infections during the neonatal period and to characterize the interactions between neonates and C. auris. Thus, we conducted a systematic review to gather and update our knowledge and practices concerning the risk factors, clinical presentation, and outcomes of C. auris infection in neonates.
