Kickoff meeting for the
🌌Galectin-3 targeted antifungal prophylaxis in ICU influenza (GALActIC)🌌
Eppermed.eu project at @UZLeuven
Incredibly productive meeting with the Galactic team @carvalho_ago @s_feys @eurconfmedmycol @MSG_ERC
Looking back with extreme gratitude on the past four years, having defended my PhD thesis on virus-associated aspergillosis last Tuesday. I got to work with fantastic people (many of whom have become friends), both within and outside the fungal research community (1/4)
Wonderful to see this important research on interferon gamma in influenza-associated aspergillosis published by my fantastic colleague and friend @SeldeslachtsL !
🌟 Thrilled to announce the publication of our paper in #eBioMedicine #TheLancet! 🌟
Damping excessive viral-induced IFN-γ restores the impaired anti-Aspergillus immune response in influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA). 🧫🦠

Pulmonary HSV & CMV in #COVID19 #ARDS
🦠HSV reactivations common; ⬆️ alveolar inflammation post reactivation: may hinder resolution of inflammation/injury? Alveolar sampling appropriate if non-resolving ARDS. Antivirals could enhance outcome
🦠CMV rare

In conclusion: if you have a severely ill patient with flu or COVID 🦠, think Aspergillus 🍄 and do a bronchoscopy with BAL 🫁 if possible!
