New EMBARC registry data published ThoraxBMJ - study from 31 countries Inhaled corticosteroids are used by 52.3% of bronchiectasis patients Outcomes are generally worse among ICS users which may be confounding by indication Eosinophilic patients have lower exacerbations!

CPA affects ~3,600 people in the UK. Mortality can reach 40% at 5 years. Current treatment = long-term azoles with limited efficacy + resistance concerns. We urgently need new options. The INCAS Trial explores immune modulation with interferon-gamma. #IDTwitter #LungHealth

Study recruiting now. Respiratory and ID clinicians: if you start patients on azoles for chronic aspergillosis they may be eligible to also receive interferon gamma via our RCT. Our preliminary data shows reduction in flares with IFNg National Aspergillosis Centre

Brazilian TV had a long section about fungal pathogens, AMR and the future risks of fungi🔥thoroughly enjoyed the filming day! Highlighting research from Brazil and how we in the UK collaborate across the globe 🌍 to bring awareness for fungal diseases

Heading to ISHAM meeting! Hope to see many of you there! Looking forward to contributing to sessions on chronic fungal lung disease on Wednesday and serological diagnosis of CPA on Friday. National Aspergillosis Centre
