A new study show that clinical suspicion alone is insufficient for the diagnosis of inpatient mycosis (IMI); Suspicious lesions require targeted sampling. A prospective multicenter study is needed to compare diagnostic criteria, especially skin biopsy plus plasma qPCR, with histopathology.

🔥 New study on invasive #mold infections in severe #burn patients. These infections affect ~20% of cases and are hard to distinguish from colonization. We analyzed 6,000+ samples from 276 patients to identify strategies that could improve mycological diagnosis.

🧫 Trichophyton indotineae shows high terbinafine resistance, and azole failures are rising but remains first line treatment.
We compared Etest® vs EUCAST for 73 isolates — 89% / 83.6% essential agreement for itraconazole / posaconazole.
➡️ A practical tool for routine labs!

The FEBS Advanced Lecture Course on Molecular Mechanisms of Host-Pathogen Interactions and Virulence in Human Fungal Pathogens (HFP2026) will be held on May 16-22, 2026, in La Colle-sur-Loup, France. The website and registration link are below 👇
hfp2026.febsevents.org [hfp2026.febsevents.org].
🔥 At conferences, who asks the questions shapes who gets seen. Across 24 ID&CM meetings, women were 55% of delegates but asked 36% of questions.
💬 When women moderate or speak first, others follow.
Let’s change the pattern

A line graph illustrating immunosuppressive drug intensity and immune cell recovery (CD4+ T, B and NK cells) over months following kidney transplantation, highlighting a window of heightened cryptococcal disease risk.
Two parabola diagrams comparing HIV-associated cryptococcal damage and non-HIV transplant-associated damage. In both settings, too little or too much immune response can result in host damage (left and right arms of the parabola). However, in non-HIV transplant patients, the overall position on the parabola is less predictable, due to the heterogeneous effects of immunosuppressive medications before and during cryptococcal infection.

Great to see at #ESCMIDglobal2025 4 out 9 keynote lectures being held by women and gender balanced achieved in terms of invited faculty.
Keep in mind that giving a talk at ESCMIDglobal creates more visibility/ is more prestigious than chairing a session.
