ECCMID 2019

From April 13th - 16th, Amsterdam hosted the 29th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. With thousands of abstracts being discussed, it was easy to miss out on some developments. Invasive fungal diseases still pose many diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Therefore, MEDtalks asked several top experts to come up with their personal (congress) highlights regarding this challenging topic, and focus on translating scientific developments to clinical practice.
