The ISHAM-affiliated Mycology Study
Group are recruiting sites for the phaeohyphomycosis case registry study
(MSG-06). The objective is to better understand the clinical syndromes
associated with these fungi and how effective current management strategies are
in treating these infections. Since these are rare infections, we are looking
for 15-25 sites to submit detailed case report data from patients for the next
3 years. If your site is interested in participating, contact Sanjay Revankar, srevankar@med.wayne.edu. more info.
The Brazilian Congress of Infectious
Diseases will be organized in Brasilia, Brasil, 24-28 August, with several
topics in medical mycology. Click
here for full information.
Applications are invited for the
distance learning based BSMM/University College London MSc Diploma/Certificate
Course in Medical Mycology. Teaching is provided by the leading UK experts
in mycology, by means of DVDs, web-based materials and practical courses, and
includes a research project conducted at the student’s home institution. A
bursary may be available from the BSMM to support the costs of this course.
Details are available here. For info, contact Anne Dickens, a.dickens@medsch.ucl.ac.uk.
A CBOL Webinar on Fungal DNA
extraction will be organized by Natalia Ivanova on Tuesday, April 19, 2011
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM EDT. This webinar will be presented live using GoToWebinar,
an online presentation resource. This webinar will be recorded, and will be

The Consilium Mycologicum will organize
a meeting on novel techniques in fungal diagnostics in Essen, Germany, 17-18
June, 2011. Information can be found on the website of the German society, here.
