It is refreshing to see fungal disease surveillance captured in 🇳🇬's National Action Plan on AMR. Hopefully this translates to investments in diagnostics, #AFST and capacity building

We're super proud of our budding mycologist and colleague, Dr Isabella Asamoah from 🇬🇭. Kudos to the NIFUSCAB team for the great support in 🇳🇬 and 🇬🇭. Tackling #IFIs always begins with #awareness!

Meet David Koffi from Institute Pasteur🇨🇮 and member of Pan African Mycology Working Group. David is at #ISHAM2025 and gave a talk about TB-like fungal lung diseases, a frequent pitfall in many low-resource countries in Africa with poor access labs and imaging. #StrongerTogether

Thousands recover from TB, only to face a silent killer—Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA). It mimics TB symptoms and goes undiagnosed. It's time to screen for CPA in TB programs. Lives depend on it. #EndTB #Aspergillosis #OneHealth

Up to 1.2 million people develop CPA annually after TB. Yet most are never diagnosed. It’s time to bridge the gap. We need to advocate for CPA screening in all TB programs, especially in high burden countries. #Aspergillosis #Tuberculosis #CPA #PAMWG

Fungal rhinosinusitis poses significant public health risks from delayed diagnosis, rising antifungal resistance&burden on healthcare systems, especially in the immunocompromised. Dr Sarah Ahmed at #ISHAM2025 presenting recent findings & perspectives in Africa #IFI

Still coughing after TB treatment? It could be CPA, and not a relapse, especially if Gene Xpert is negative. But most are never screened. We can do better. #ScreenForCPA #TBcare #LungHealth #OneHealth #Advocacy #IFI #CPA2025

The increasing number of immunocompromised individuals is expected to drive a rise in serious fungal infections. Physicians should suspect fungal sepsis when patients do not respond to antibiotics. #thinkfungal #sepsis #IFI

Doctors, LOOK closely. Persistent fever in immune-suppressed patients that doesn't respond to antibiotics could be a serious fungal infection. Don't overlook it. #ThinkFungal #PAMWG #InfectiousDiseases #FungalAwareness #GlobalHealth

Looks like TB, but may not be TB. It’s CPA. And patients are dying from misdiagnosis. It’s time to screen smarter. #ThinkFungal #ScreenForCPA #EndTB #PAMWG

Did you know CPA affects 1 in every 4,400 people globally? That’s nearly 50,000 cases in Nigeria alone!What about your country?In high TB zones,the risk is even greater—let’s not ignore it! doi: 10.1016/S1473-3099(23)00692-8 #CPA #IFD #PAMWG #Fungaldisease
