Evaluation of the Diagnostic Capabilities of Mycology Laboratories

 19/09/2024

You are invited to participate in a survey aimed at describing the reality of the diagnostic and therapeutic capacity of clinical mycology in institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean. This research is being carried out by the Molecular Biology Laboratory of the Santa Casa de Porto Alegre (Brazil) and the Colonia University Hospital (Germany).



The main proposals of the INFOCU-LATAM are

  • To connect graduate students and health care workers interested in contributing to the development of local educational programs and guidelines for improving the early diagnosis and best clinical management of patients with fungal infections in our region
  • To promote and facilitate the conduction of collaborative multicenter studies delineated to understand the epidemiology of fungal infections in LATAM
  • To encourage advocacy initiatives necessary to convince health policy makers and hospital managers to provide better support to medical assistance to patients suffering from opportunistic and endemic fungal infections in our region
