About 30% to 60% of infected people have died from the yeast... The fungus is resistant to several antifungal medications, but the CDC said it is not seen as a threat to healthy people.

It can cause serious illness and death in people who are already sick, use invasive medical devices or have long or frequent stays at health care facilities.
