WEBINAR: Fantastic bugs and how to recognise them: practical approach in diagnosis of opportunistic infections in SOT

The third webinar of our series on the quality of care in post-transplant infectious disease will focus on prevention strategies and emerging viral pathogens. In the first talk, we will learn how to prevent infections in the post-transplant phase. Here, lifestyle recommendations including the vaccinations recommended for transplant recipients will be provided. The second talk will cover emerging tropical viruses, with a focus on arboviruses and how to diagnose and treat them. In the last talk, we will learn that there are viruses that can help us to optimise immunosuppression in post-transplant routine care.
