Dear Friends,

We on behalf of Fungal Infection Study Forum (FISF) welcome you to Regional Mycocon 2019 organized at Hyderabad. Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in our patients are increasingly recognized as a cause of considerable morbidity and mortality. The scenario in India appears to be critical due to overcapacity patient population leading to compromise in healthcare, misuse of antimicrobials and steroids, very high fungal spore burden in the air of hospitals. The limited studies from India have predicted very high incidence of IFIs with unique epidemiology. The challenge of rising trend of fungal infections is difficult to handle in this country due to lack of awareness among healthcare workers, limited number of diagnostic mycology laboratories, and poor affordability of the patients for expensive diagnostics and antifungal drugs. Understanding the mammoth task ahead to face the challenge 16 clinicians and microbiologists together developed this non-profitable trust, FISF with the sole aim to undertake epidemiological and clinical studies maintaining the scientific integrity and validity, propose country-specific management guidelines, and organize education activities. As a part of education activity, the Forum organizes regional conferences and Masterclass across the country. The present regional conference organized jointly with Apollo Hospital at Hyderabad is part of the continuous activity of the Forum. The conference would be high quality in scientific content and you would enjoy the conference. FISF welcomes you to join us in our pledge to reduce the morbidity & mortality of fungal infections in India.

It is my privilege to invite you to the Mycocon conference by Fungal Infection Study Forum (FISF) at Hyderabad.

With Regards
