🦠 Fungal diseases can have a significant impact on health, yet they can often be overlooked or difficult to diagnose.
Fungal Disease Awareness Week takes place 14–18 September, highlighting key issues from diagnosis and antifungal resistance to travel-associated and skin infections.
Throughout the week, we’ll be exploring the challenges in recognising and managing fungal diseases.

🦠 Managing viral infections in immunocompromised patients: Key updates from ESCMID 2026
At ESCMID 2026, Dr Jon Salmanton-Garcia (University of Cologne) highlighted how rapidly evolving immunosuppressive therapies are reshaping the landscape of viral infections in vulnerable patients.
In this interview, Dr Salmanton-Garcia discusses key advances in diagnostics, including next-generation sequencing and biomarker-driven approaches, alongside rapid progress in vaccine platforms and expanding antiviral options. He also highlights the growing attention on previously under-recognised respiratory viruses and the importance of continued collaboration.
