Another training week!! Training of targeted clinicians at #UPTH Port Harcourt on #IFIs. #Cliniciantraining #Fungaldiseasessurveillance #NIFUSCAB #PAMWG

Intensive hands-on training on #IFI diagnosis for focal lab scientists from @UpthOnline & @FTH_GOMBE. Many thanks to our partners @CDCgov @NCDCgov

CPA is often mistaken for TB relapse. Persistent symptoms after TB treatment? Think fungal. Early diagnosis saves lives. #ThinkFungal #CPA #Aspergillosis #TB #FungalDiseases

Drs,When the Harmattan dust rises, so should index of suspicion Seasonal surges in airborne spores mean fungal infections such as aspergillosis may become more likely 🩺 Chronic cough,fever,or treatment failure?#thinkfungal.Early suspicion-timely testing-save lives #Aspergillosis

Not every fever is bacterial.Not every lung infiltrate is #TB In at-risk patients, #invasiveaspergillosis MUST be considered early,not late 🔬Galactomannan testing helps move from suspicion to action 📊Missed #IFIs aren’t rare—they’re costly #ThinkFungal #IMMY #AMR #PatientSafety

Antifungal resistance isn’t tomorrow’s problem,it’s already here 🧪Every sample strengthens surveillance 💊Every correct prescription preserves our limited antifungals 🌍Every clinician, scientist & policymaker has a role If we ignore this, resistance will outrun us #ThinkFungal

🦠#IFIs are rising, yet overlooked. Too many patients are misdiagnosed or diagnosed late. 📷Early detection saves lives . Clinicians must #ThinkFungal when patients aren’t improving #Mycology #PublicHealthAfrica

When cough won’t stop even after TB treatment, it’s time to widen the lens. Fungal diseases like #CPA often mimic or coexist TB. To truly strengthen TB programs,we must integrate fungal disease screening into routine practice. 🔍#StopTB. #thinkfungal #Mycology #AMR #PulmonaryCare

#IFIs progress fast. Timely diagnosis must keep up. Each sample sent to the lab is more than routine;it guides lifesaving treatment. We need stronger clinician–lab collaboration & earlier diagnostic testing to improve outcomes When Drs #thinkfungal,patients stand a better chance.

When a critically ill patient isn’t improving on antibiotics, it may be time to #thinkfungal. Everyday, critically ill persons suffer undiagnosed #IFIs. Early suspicion, proper diagnostics & timely antifungals can be the difference between life & death #CriticalCare #Sepsis

@nifuscab principal investigator @RitaOladele1 on program progress & #sustainability with the Enugu Hon. Commissioner of Health Dr George Ugwu.Capacity Building& surveillance is key to revealing& reducing the burden of #IFIs in 🇳🇬. #Advocacy #thinkfungal #PublicHealth

At the 11th regular CCMD meeting in @EnuguState for advocacy to all tertiary hospital heads to #thinkfungal & promote program sustainability by ensuring trained health workers & laboratory capacity for diagnosis & management of #IFIs. #sustainability #publichealth #savelives

🇳🇬 Nigeria ranks among the highest globally for #TB #HIV& #DM—all risk factors for Invasive Fungal Infections #IFI 🦠Many IFIs are misdiagnosed as TB,costing lives. 💪@nifuscab with support from @CDCgov is training Drs & lab scientists nationwide to #ThinkFungal &save lives.

What did you learn this week during the #FDAW? Kudos to @UnivOfNigeria Dept of Microbiology! Fungal dxs are neglected, but can be deadly.Awareness in the community=early action, better outcomes.#ThinkFungal #MMSN #PAMWG #Publichealth

Great job from the University of Nigeria Team Nsukka on raising awareness on fungal diseases in their vicinity. #FDAW #fungaldiseasesawareness #IFI #invasivefungalinfecrions
