Not every chronic chest infection is TB. Sometimes you may need to #Thinkfungal. Think Histoplasmosis. It mimics TB but needs different management. Clinicians, raise your index of suspicion! #mycology #differentialdiagnosis #Histoplasmosis #TB #InfectiousDiseases #PAMWG

Stop Tuberculosis—but don’t stop there. Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA) can follow TB. Diagnose early. Treat right. Save lives. #EndTB #FightCPA #LungHealth #pamwg

High-risk patients deserve high suspicion. Invasive fungal infections often hide behind common symptoms—missed diagnosis can be fatal. Raise your index of suspicion in at-risk individuals. Early detection saves lives! #InvasiveFungalInfections #ClinicalAwareness #ThinkFungal #IFI

Did you know CPA affects 1 in every 4,400 people globally? That’s nearly 50,000 cases in Nigeria alone!What about your country?In high TB zones,the risk is even greater—let’s not ignore it!.doi: 10.1016/S1473-3099(23)00692-8.#CPA #IFD #PAMWG #Fungaldisease

Looks like TB, but may not be TB. It’s CPA. And patients are dying from misdiagnosis. It’s time to screen smarter. #ThinkFungal #ScreenForCPA #EndTB #PAMWG

Doctors, LOOK closely. Persistent fever in immune-suppressed patients that doesn't respond to antibiotics could be a serious fungal infection. Don't overlook it. #ThinkFungal #PAMWG.#InfectiousDiseases #FungalAwareness #GlobalHealth

The increasing number of immunocompromised individuals is expected to drive a rise in serious fungal infections. Physicians should suspect fungal sepsis when patients do not respond to antibiotics. #thinkfungal #sepsis #IFI

Still coughing after TB treatment?.It could be CPA, and not a relapse, especially if Gene Xpert is negative. But most are never screened. We can do better. #ScreenForCPA #TBcare #LungHealth #OneHealth #Advocacy #IFI #CPA2025

Up to 1.2 million people develop CPA annually after TB. Yet most are never diagnosed. It’s time to bridge the gap. We need to advocate for CPA screening in all TB programs, especially in high burden countries. #Aspergillosis #Tuberculosis #CPA #PAMWG

Thousands recover from TB, only to face a silent killer—Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA). It mimics TB symptoms and goes undiagnosed. It's time to screen for CPA in TB programs. Lives depend on it. #EndTB #Aspergillosis #OneHealth
