27th Infectious Diseases Working Party Educational Course

Welcome to the 27th Infectious Diseases Working Party Educational Course!

We are happy to announce the 27th Infectious Diseases Working Party Educational Course, to take place between the 7 and 9 November 2024 in Geneva.
The program will cover all aspects of infectious disease aspects in high-risk haematology patients, including patients with leukaemia, lymphoma, and allogeneic bone marrow transplant and CAR-T cell recipients. Infectious disease diagnostic, prophylactic and treatment strategies and recent ECIL guidelines will be discussed in depth.

A large number of experts in haematology, pulmonary medicine, and infectious diseases will get together to present on the most recent developments in the field of transplantation and continue the dialogue on identifying needs and future challenges in transplant recipients and infectious disease complications.

We look forward to welcoming you all to this Educational Course in Geneva and invite you to submit scientific abstracts and/or case presentations to be actively discussed in the sessions or as posters.

Yours sincerely,
Rafale de la Camara, IDWP chair
Dina Averbuch, IDWP secretary
