A few minutes outside of San Juan and just past touristy Isla Verde is the town of Loíza. It's best known for its traditional vejigante masks (folklore characters seen in Puerto Rican festivals) and the beachside community of Piñones, where you can get some of the best fritters in the region.

Other studies have found mortality rates of 60% to 80% in patients with C krusei fungemia. Several studies have demonstrated that isolates of C krusei may be less susceptible to amphotericin B in vitro than isolates of C albicans. Berrouane et al²⁰ considered C krusei to be a multiple-drug–resistant pathogen.
