The next Course Medical Mycology will be organized in Suzhou, China, May 18-26, 2019. The course is a joint effort of Chinese Society of Microbiology (CSM), the Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, and the Centre of Expertise in Mycology of Radboudumc/CWZ, The Netherlands. Lectures will be in English. The course consists of hands-on microscopic work and lectures on clinical aspects, antifungals and diagnostic methods. The Atlas of Clinical Fungi (online version) will be used as lab manual. Speakers will be specialists from all over China, while Prof. G.S. de Hoog will give numerous lectures on taxonomy, biodiversity and identification, while Prof. P.E. Verweij will lecture on clinical aspects of fungal diseases.
