That’s a wrap, I enjoyed a lot this #ESCMIDGlobal2026 loads of science, friends and colleagues from all over the world!, beer, networking and, an amazing city! Too much to catch up online but, meantime, thank you #Munich

Starting the long way to #Munich for #ESCMIDGlobal2026 come along to my poster on Monday, I’ll be presenting progress on my project about bacterial co-infections in mucormycosis! Looking forward to discussing amazing scientific research

That’s a wrap! Thank you Norwich for having us! See you all in #Glasgow2026 to celebrate the 60th annual #BSMM conference!

See you all there!

Mexico has never been considered having autochthonous cases of Blastomycosis (even more surprisingly near Mexico city). This is probably telling us a new niche for Blasto has been brewing for some time now or we haven’t looked into it deeper #IDsky @msgerc.bsky.social @ishamycology.bsky.social

Access to diagnostic testing for invasive fungal diseases and other opportunistic infections in Mexican health care centers caring for patients living with HIV - PubMed In Mexico, most public HIV-dedicated health care centers lack on-site capacity to diagnose opportunistic infections, specifically fungal infections. Rapid tests and point-of-care tests are frequently ...

A couple of weeks ago we got our results on the current state of diagnostic capacities for fungal infections and other OI in PLWH in Mexico. Spoiler alert, a lot of work to be done at POC @youngecmm.bsky.social @ishamycology.bsky.social @msgerc.bsky.social pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39966809/
