Scientific Sessions

Fungal Infections in Immunocompromised Hosts

  • Epidemiology of fungal pathogens
  • Diagnostics and early detection
  • Antifungal therapies and resistance management
  • Prevention strategies in high-risk populations

Fungal infections in immunocompromised patients highlight challenges in Infectious Diseases, emphasizing Epidemiology & Public Health, Disease Prevention & Control, and vaccination where relevant. Participants will examine risk factors, infection dynamics, and evidence-based interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality. Clinical strategies for early detection, diagnosis, and therapy selection will be discussed in detail.

The session also explores Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) concerns with fungal pathogens, stressing the need for vigilant stewardship and monitoring. Attendees will gain practical knowledge on implementing preventive protocols, supporting patient outcomes, and integrating public health strategies in high-risk populations.

Key Highlights

  • Fungal infection epidemiology and high-risk populations
  • Early detection and diagnostic strategies
  • Antifungal therapy and resistance considerations
  • Infection prevention in immunocompromised patients
  • Integration of public health measures and clinical care

Why This Session Is Important?

Fungal infections can be life-threatening for vulnerable patients. This session equips clinicians with tools to diagnose, treat, and prevent infections effectively.
