A Patient- Centered Approach to Antimicrobial Resistance: From Diagnostic Advances to Clinical Care
Location(s)
About the event
CDC and WHO kick off Fungal Disease Awareness Week 2024 with a reminder of what drives global fungal disease research and initiatives: the patients. Experts will share updates on antimicrobial resistance and advancements in diagnostics and susceptibility testing; efforts to improve patient care. Next a clinician and professor will describe the scope of Cryptococcus infections and invasive fungal diseases in Nigeria and work to improve surveillance. Last, a survivor will share how a patient experiences misdiagnosis and diagnostic challenges, difficulties with antifungal treatment and management, and long-term impacts of Valley fever. Experiences like this are why FDAW is important. This webinar takes place on September 16, 9 - 10 AM ET / 3 -4 pm CET. Please register in advance through this link.
