This week, CDC Emerging Infections are asking all healthcare workers to #ThinkFungus ! 🍄 Read this article about Fungal Disease Testing below 👇 #FungalWeek24 #FungalDisease #Mycology #Healthcare #MedTwitter

Excited to hear from Tom Chiller about his beginnings in medicine and medical mycology when he lived in Paraguay for a few years in 1988. In 2023 the airport was still the same. #cmmLatam

🎉 Celebrating 10 years of #NRZMyk at Leibniz-HKI and Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg! 🔬🍄 Over 1,300 fungal infection samples handled yearly, aiding doctors in diagnosing & treating life-threatening cases. Proud to contribute to better health outcomes! Oliver Kurzai

Deaths associated with antibacterial resistance forecast to top 8 million annually by 2050 in this new The Lancet paper (and they didn't even address the problem of antifungal resistance) thelancet.com/action/showPdf…

New data released today in The Lancet shows that without urgent action, antimicrobial resistance could kill 39 million people by 2050. Deaths and inequities from the global antibiotic emergency are increasing and now is the time to take urgent action. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

We’re highlighting the issue of fungal pnuemonias on day 4 of #FungalWeek24. Fungal infections can mimic pneumonia, leading to frequent misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. This can result in severe, sometimes chronic symptoms.
