PG18 - Respiratory infections in immunosuppressed children

Postgraduate Course
Chairs: P. J. F. M. Merkus (Nijmegen, The Netherlands), L. Dracea (Brasov, Romania)
Aims: The main aim of this course is to update the audience on the prevalence, diagnosis and management of paediatric respiratory infections in various immunological conditions or disorders. The improved survival of children with immunological disorders, the increased survival of paediatric oncology patients, and the altered virulence or prevalence of pathogens continue to affect the way opportunistic infections present themselves and need to be managed.
