CDC is reporting the first known cases of antifungal-resistant ringworm in the United States and urging providers to be on the lookout for such infections
The details of the cases were reported to the CDC in February and shared in a report published Thursday. The patients – two unrelated women in New York City – first had symptoms in 2021 and 2022. One patient had no international travel history, suggesting that there is some community spread in the US. Despite the name, ringworm is not caused by a worm; rather, it is caused by one of 40 species of fungus.
Priya Soni, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said it’s impressive that physicians were able to get the species identified with the help of their public health department. Because one of the patients had no history of travel to any area that has seen cases, she said, it’s a real signal that there’s been some epidemiological changes within the fungal species.
