Invitation
Mycology Update 1 - Program
Medical mycology is a rapidly evolving area and this
symposium will highlight recent developments from
laboratory bench to patient bedside.
09:00 Welcome and registration
New taxonomy challenges our ability to correctly identify
clinical fungi and new techniques are becoming available
which may help us overcome these challenges.
UPDATES FROM THE MYCO LAB
09:30 Fungal taxonomy
Prof. dr. Sybren de Hoog, CBS Biodiversity Center, Utrecht, Netherlands
09:50 Conventional mycology
Ton Rijs, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands
Also our understanding of intrinsic and acquired
resistance has increased and in vitro susceptibility testing
is often needed to help guide antifungal therapy choices.
10:30 Break
New drugs and new formulations have become available
and offer us more options in patient treatment.
Also new guidelines have been published, that provide
evidence-based recommendations for management of
Candida and Aspergillus infections.
Specific topics related to our daily practice will be
discussed including invasive aspergillosis as complication
of influenza in ICU-patients, the latest trends in azole
resistance and Cryptococcus gattii epidemiology.
Furthermore, the increasing trend of Fusarium keratitis
will be presented.
National and international experts will share their
insights with us and provide an interesting and
stimulating day for those involved in clinical management
as well as laboratory diagnosis of invasive fungal
diseases.
