🍄 Day 5: Diagnostics & Therapeutics

Fungal diseases continue to present complex diagnostic & treatment challenges. Advancing patient care depends on ongoing innovation in both diagnostics & therapeutics.

#ThinkFungus26 #FungalDiagnostics

Hundreds of fungal infections exist, but only a few antifungals are available. As fungal diseases and drug resistance rise, new treatments are critical. If your patient isn’t improving despite treatment, consider testing for fungus. #ThinkFungus26 https://bit.ly/3YUkbob

Fungal diseases are a global challenge. This #ThinkFungus26, we're celebrating the partnerships helping improve diagnosis, treatment and care worldwide.

🌍 Together, we're driving innovation against fungal disease.

Clinicians: Fungal skin diseases can be confused with other skin conditions. Test to confirm the diagnosis and avoid prescribing concurrent use of antifungals and topical steroids. #ThinkFungus26 https://bit.ly/3FRrshr

🧫 It’s day 4 of Fungal Disease Awareness Week, and it’s also International Microorganism Day!

Today we're highlighting work across the MRC CMM, CMM AFRICA unit and CMM LATAM unit to understand the fungi that threaten human health & raise awareness of fungal infections.

It's Fungal Disease Awareness Week. Learn more about #ThinkFungus26 and help raise awareness of fungal diseases and their impact on patients: https://bit.ly/4dyCy6u.

Fungi live in different environments including your home, outdoors, and in healthcare settings.

This Fungal Disease Awareness Week, #ThinkFungus26 and raise awareness to help protect people from the growing impact of fungal diseases. https://bit.ly/4dyCy6u

This #FungalDiseaseAwarenessWeek, we highlight our 2023 OWOH podcast where Dr. David Denning of #GAFFI @manchester.ac.uk discusses how fungal diseases can become life-threatening. #FungalInfections #AntifungalResistance #OneHealth #ThinkFungus26

As fungal diseases & antimicrobial-resistant fungal infections increase, the need for new antifungal treatment is critical.

Fungal diseases are diverse, and so is the research needed to tackle them.

Researchers across the MRC CMM, #FAILSAFE, CMM AFRICA and CMM LATAM network are working together to improve outcomes for people affected by fungal diseases worldwide.

#ThinkFungus26

Antifungal medicines save lives, but some fungi are becoming resistant to them.

At MRC CMM, researchers are investigating drug-resistant fungi like Candida auris, identifying potential new treatment targets and driving global action on antifungal resistance.

An estimated 6.55 million people develop life-threatening fungal infections every year, and approximately 3.75 million lose their lives. Learn more in our 2023 webinar: onehealthtrust.org/news-media/w...

Antifungal resistance is making fungal infections harder to treat. We need better surveillance, diagnostics and new treatment options to stay ahead of resistant fungi. 🔬🍄

Fungal diseases are increasing worldwide and are developing #AntimicrobialResistance to the drugs designed to treat them. During #FungalWeek26, learn more about fungal diseases and how you can raise awareness about this #OneHealth issue. #ThinkFungus26 https://bit.ly/4r60qGl

Fungal infections can have the same symptoms as illnesses caused by bacteria or viruses, but people don't think about it, delaying the diagnosis. This delay results in delayed treatment, allowing for serious illness that is challenging to treat. Always think, it could be fungal! #ThinkFungus26

Fungal infections can look a lot like bacterial or viral illnesses, making them difficult to diagnose. Delays in diagnosis can lead to serious illness.

Researchers at the MRC CMM and across the globe are improving fungal diagnostics and treatments.

#ThinkFungus26

Fungal diseases start where life happens.

Fungal Disease Awareness Week is September 14-18. #ThinkFungus26 and raise awareness to help protect people from the growing impact of fungal diseases.

Fungal diseases are a growing #GlobalHealth threat, driven partly by rising resistance. Under-prioritization has fueled innovation gaps, but new treatments & diagnostics demonstrate the potential for R&D to transform the global response. #ThinkFungus26
