La Real Academia Nacional de Medicina organiza el próximo lunes 26 de Febrero una sesión científica conmemorativa del Día Mundial de las enfermedades tropicales desatendidas centrada en la enfermedad fúngica. Os adjuntamos el programa de la reunión que esperamos sea de vuestro interés.
En la sesión se hablará de tres temas: la lista de patógenos fúngicos prioritarios de la OMS (Ana Alastruey, ISCIII y presidenta de la AEM), el diagnóstico de la infección fúngica (Juan Luis Rodriguez Tudela, GAFFI) y el ensayo clínico sobre Micetoma que ha realizado DNDi (Fabiana Alves, DNDi). Podéis encontrar todos los detalles en el documento adjunto.
El evento es gratuito. Para aquellos que estéis en Madrid os animamos a ir presencialmente para apoyar estas iniciativas que ayudan a dar visibilidad a la infección fúngica.
Para poder asistir telemáticamente a la sesión deberá unirse a la reunión de Zoom:
El próximo martes 11 de mayo de 2021 se celebra el webinar: «Nuevas estrategias para los nuevos pacientes IFI», moderado por Ana Alastruey y Javier Pemán, donde participarán el Dr. Rafael Zaragoza, el Dr. Andrés Novo y el Dr. Miguel Salavert.

First Wednesday of each month, 13:00-14:00 UK time (BST)
Serious fungal infections such as invasive aspergillosis can be difficult to diagnose due to often non-specific features (fever, cough, weight loss, rash, raised CRP, increased oxygen requirement) and low awareness of fungal infections. Many regions around the world have limited access to a mycology lab, and turnaround times can be long for traditional tests such as fungal cultures. This can lead to delays in treatment that cost lives.
LIFE Worldwide has produced a series of webinars aimed at laboratory and clinical staff to explain which tests are available, how to select the appropriate test, how to perform it, and how to interpret the results in a clinical context. Of particular interest are the rapid point-of-care (‘bedside’) tests, which can return a result in less than 30 minutes.
Summer 2020 programme:
Aspergillus antigen (Weds 3rd June)
Beta-D-glucan (Weds 1st July)
Cryptococcal antigen (Weds 5th Aug)
Therapeutic drug monitoring of antifungals (Weds 2nd Sep)
