#416: Antifungals, Candida, Mucorales, Aspergillus, Pneumocystis: The Fungus Among Us with Dr. Ilan Schwartz MD

“I collect spores, molds and fungus” - Dr. Egon Spengler

Dr. Ilan Schwartz MD PhD (@GermHunterMD) teaches us that we should always at least consider fungi in the differential diagnosis of unexplained sepsis, especially in patients with impaired immune systems or complex medical or surgical histories, and walks us through an approach to antifungals. Be sure to check out the Mycoses Study Group Education & Research Consortium (@MSG_ERC), an organization of clinicians who are dedicated to advancing diagnostics and treatment of fungal disease (where Dr. Schwartz serves on the board of directors!)
