The Message... Arunaloke Chakraborti Professor & Head Center for Advanced Research in Medical Mycology & WHO Collaborating Center Department of Medical Microbiology Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education & Research Chandigarh, India Over 300 million people are affected by serious fungal infection worldwide. The situation in India is especially grim. The incidence of Candidemia in Indian ICUs is 1.2 34.6 patients/1000 ICU admission. It tends to infect younger and less sick patients as compared to ICU patients in developed countries. Azole resistance is high (11.8%), and overall mortality is 40%. In addition there are stories of outbreaks of Pichia anomala, Kodamaea ohmer, Candida auris, Pichia fabianii.the reasons of outbreaks include high yeast hand carriage rate (46-80%), horizontal transmission and too many patients in hospital. Invasive aspergillosis in India has certain peculiarities. The incidence is expected to be high because of below optimal hospital care practice, continuous hospital renovation work, overuse/misuse of steroids, contaminated infusion set/fluids, no HEPA filters, open window to name a few. Unlike the developed world there is increased isolation of A.flavus (up to 56%). A.flavus is more resistant to common anti fungals used. The unique features of Mucormycosis is again its high incidence 0.14/1000 population. Uncontrolled diabetes is a MAJOR RISK FACTOR. Indians love sweets. Compliance to anti-diabetic therapy is poor. Finally there is lack of quality local data an impediment to the development of India specific guidelines. The purpose of the Fungal Infections Study Forum is to conduct educational activities, undertake epidemiological and clinical studies and to promote research activities on invasive fungal infections. The results of such research would benefit the clinicians, mycologists and the general public. The trust was formed in view of emergence of Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in India which is posing a serious challenge to the haematologists, critical care providers, ID specialists, pulmonologists, neurologists, medical mycologists and many other clinicians handling serious and immunocompromised patients. To discuss all these it is my privilege to invite you to the International Conference organized by Fungal Infection Study Forun (FISF) at Delhi. The Conference will be preceeded by Infectious Diseases workshop. Arunaloke Chakraborti visit www.fisftrust.org the official website of FISF
