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/
