Fungal Pneumonia: More Common Than We Think!

Fungal Pneumonias arrive in the Emergency Department more often than we think - and they usually get missed. Dr. Andrej Spec [infectious disease] discusses the different types of fungal pneumonias, their endemic locations and their clinical presentations. We discuss relevant labs and imaging, and how to manage these sneaky fungi.

fascinating and to the point. Very glad UA-cam put this video and channel on my homepage.

I had/have candida. I started taking seed probiotics, and a week later I ended up with the chest infection. I’ve had the cough for a month. I took a Z-pack this week and it did nothing. All the doctors are rolling their eyes at me. Saying it’s highly unlikely that I have a fungal infection in my chest. How do I get tested for this?

Getting it diagnosed here in Australia is impossible,so im completely disabled by it...they wont listen.

Excellent interview. Thanks for the recap/ summaries.
Works better for retention that way. You asked relevant questions. With minimal expansion, this talk would be a great candidate for CEUs.
Thanks!

Wow, thanks so much! We've never tried making CEUs before, but that could be interesting to look into.
