5th ECMM EDUCATIONAL SYMPOSIUM: RARE YEASTS – A GROWING THREAT
Iași-Romania, 1-2 July 2021

This meeting, jointly organized by ECMM, ESCMID, and ISHAM, is presenting a novel approach to a microbial group – the “rare yeasts” as human pathogens of significance. It will focus on a new aspect of fungal infections, which did not thus far receive adequate attention, and may contribute to further interest, resulting in novel diagnostic and therapeutic measures.The scientific program will include state-of-the-art presentations in the field, from taxonomy and pathogenicity to immunity and guidelines for infection management.Practical sessions will be dedicated to morphologic and molecular tools for rare yeasts identification.The symposium will be organized in a hybrid format with majority of the lectures delivered onsite and some online.  The audience will comprise both “face-to-face” and online participants.

We look forward to welcoming you in Romania!
Prof. Esther Segal and Prof. Mihai Mares
