Fungal diseases are increasing worldwide and are developing #AntimicrobialResistance to the drugs designed to treat them. This #FungalWeek25 learn about risk factors: http://bit.ly/4nWTCsy
Sporotrichosis and mycetoma are fungal #NTDs affecting the skin. Left untreated, they lead to bone damage, skin cancer, and amputation. Fungal pathogens are a growing threat, underscoring the need for new treatments and tests to improve early access to care. #FungalWeek25

Fungal pneumonias—Valley fever, histoplasmosis, & blastomycosis—are often misdiagnosed. Treatment delays can lead to severe, sometimes chronic, symptoms. Raise awareness about fungal pneumonias to help increase early diagnosis and treatment.

🔬 It’s Day 4 of #FungalWeek25 focusing on histoplasmosis, a common but underdiagnosed fungal infection in the Americas.
Researchers at the MRC CMM LATAM Unit are studying:
🌳 Environmental factors
🧫 Fungal biology & virulence
🛡️ Immune response & susceptibility
To improve outcomes for communities.
The rise of antifungal resistance has made treatment of fungal diseases increasingly difficult. Still, no FDA-approved fungal vaccines exist. What is needed to create a fungal vaccine? asm.org/articles/202...

🦠 Fungi that jump from cats to humans? Yes, really.
Sporothrix brasiliensis is spreading in Latin America, causing painful infections & showing #AMR.
The FAILSAFE project, led by @MRC_CMM & funded by #GAMRIF, is supporting vital research to tackle this threat.

🍄 Day 2: Fungi Are Everywhere
Fungal diseases can spread in several ways, through contact with an infected animal, from skin scrapes exposed to fungi in soil or plants, & by inhaling fungal spores in the air.

Misdiagnosis of fungal diseases can lead to severe illness and the development of antimicrobial resistance if you are given the wrong treatment. If you are taking medication and not getting better, ask your doctor about fungal disease testing. #FungalWeek25 bit.ly/3YUkbob
Diagnostic tests ensure patients are given the correct treatment. A new lateral flow test developed by Professor Chris Thornton can detect Mucormycosis much faster than current diagnostic techniques & could be commericalised within 3 years #FungalWeek25 buff.ly/dsJoRyd..
