Terrific update on histoplasmosis by expert Antoine Adenis from Cayenne, French Guyana
We are seeing more and more cases diagnosed in the UK in travellers to endemic areas.
Easier to diagnose than ever before with new rapid tests.

Delighted to be at the beautiful QE2 centre in central London for the BSAC Winter meeting.
Excellent to hear from MP Zubir Ahmed, surgeon (and fellow Glaswegian!) reiterating government commitment to tackling antibiotic resistance
