Dear all,
The SFMM is organizing a thematic day: “Onychomycosis: from sampling to treatment” which will take place in Paris on Friday March 31 at the Saint Antoine Hospital in Paris, face-to-face. The program for the day is attached. During this day, the various speakers will address the problem of onychomycosis from the angle of physiopathology, from diagnosis to passing from sampling to identification by integrating recent taxonomy data. Therapeutic management will also be discussed in the current context of the emergence of resistance to terbinafine in France. Beyond these interventions, a time dedicated to free communications on the theme of onychomycosis is planned, of which we enclose the call for communications, open to young and old in the discipline: https://exotic.univ-tours. en/nog7em
We will take advantage of this day to organize a practice survey with the aim of analyzing the methods of sampling and diagnosis but also to determine the prevalence of fungal agents involved in onychomycosis and the potential risk of invasive infection. The questionnaire can be accessed via this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf8G0m7znDnj7AlOJq1N992Wpq5FHPbnRo9oSNDw70DbXyEOQ/viewform The analysis of your answers will be presented during this day with the aim of promoting this survey in the form of a publication including the participants among the authors, as has already been done for other thematic days. We hope to be able to meet you in this moment of scientific exchange which will include a moment of conviviality around a lunch offered by the SFMM.
Registration is required via the following link:
Registration is free of charge for members of the SFMM. A contribution of 50 euros will be requested from non-members of the SFMM (terms specified later). Please note that this day will not be valid for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) or Continuing Medical Education (CME). Looking forward to welcoming you, we wish you very happy holidays.
Best regards,
Nicole Desbois-Nogard, Florence Persat, Alicia Moreno-Sabater
