Based on data from over 80 countries and collaboration with over 300 professionals worldwide, Prof @dwdenning’s recent study revealed that the annual total of deaths from fungal disease worldwide has risen to 3.75 million, double the previous estimate. manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/…

New paper🔔 In this 10yr retrospective histopathology study,we found diverse spectrum of mycoses are (probably) dx in 🇬🇭 including rare (entomophthoromycosis), endemic (chromoblastomycosis & sporotrichosis) and previously unreported mycoses (eumycetoma). academic.oup.com/mmy/advance-ar…

Congrats Bright Ocansey for this case series on histological diagnosis of IFIs in Ghana! Fungal stains were underutilised and clinical suspicion was lacking in many cases. @dwdenning academic.oup.com/mmy/advance-ar…

Interesting new article reviewing the diverse range of invasive mycoses seen in Ghana. Some of these have never been reported in literature. In only about 15% of cases were IFIs suspected. #IFI

Happy CDC Fungal Disease Awareness Week #FDAW to everyone. Time to re-echo the importance of fungi. Due to ongoing strategic management reforms we are unable to organize our annual Severe Mycoses Symposium for #FDAW. However there are several meetings this week one can join👇🏽
