Severe fungal diseases affect millions annually. David Denning’s Lancet study estimates 6.5M invasive infections & 3.8M deaths annually, with high mortality rates for aspergillosis, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, & more. Early diagnosis & accessible treatments save lives.
In 1997, Bob Dylan's "heart attack" was Histoplasma capsulatum pericarditis — a fungal infection of the cardiac sac. Occurs in ~5% of cases. Still underdiagnosed globally. Histoplasma is more common than most clinicians realize — and still widely underdiagnosed. Learn about tools designed to help. → https://t.co/X7W3wQdZrc

"Yes! We can #EndTB!" IMMY supports the World Health Organization's bold call to action to end Tuberculosis.
World TB Day reminds us that tuberculosis remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases. Ending TB requires timely, accurate diagnostics and a global commitment to equitable access to care. On World TB Day, we reaffirm the need for stronger diagnostic systems to close the detection gap.
Ever wonder how we ensure diagnostic consistency? It’s the journey from QA to QC. 🍄🧪
Think of Quality Assurance (QA) as designing the perfect recipe, and Quality Control (QC) as tasting the soup. 🧵👇
