Candida Types & Hospital Infection Risk | Leaa Health House Calls NYC, NJ, Miami

Candida auris, a drug-resistant strain, is especially
concerning in hospitals and long-term care facilities.

⸻

Can You Get Candida from a Hospital Stay?

Yes — and it can be serious.

Hospital environments are high-risk for contracting invasive Candida infections, especially:
• After surgery
• While on antibiotics
• With a central line or catheter
• During prolonged ICU stays

Candida auris in particular can spread from surface to surface, survive for long periods, and resist common antifungal treatments. It’s frequently acquired in healthcare settings where sterilization protocols fail or cross-contamination occurs.

Why Choose a Home Doctor Visit Instead?

With Leaa Health, you can avoid hospital-acquired fungal infections by choosing discreet, high-quality care at home.

Benefits of Home Visits:
• Reduced exposure to hospital pathogens like Candida auris, MRSA, or C. difficile
• One-on-one physician attention
• Full exam, diagnosis, and lab testing done in the comfort of your home
• Ideal for elderly, immunocompromised, or post-surgical patients
• No waiting rooms, no cross-contamination, no hassle

We offer same-day house calls in NYC, NJ, and Miami — with complete infectious disease evaluations, cultures, and personalized antifungal treatment plans if needed.

Treatment for Candida Infections
