Once again Vall d’Hebron brought together national and international experts in the field of sepsis and pneumonia at the "http://www.sepsis-one.org/media/com_blogfactory/users/783/PDF/ICASIS%202015.pdf" International Course on Antimicrobial Strategies in Infection and Sepsis (ICASIS), hosted in Sitges on April 13th and 14th. In this year’s edition participated professionals from Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Turkey, Portugal, Switzerland and Spain. Clinicians and researchers discussed the latest advances in innovation and management of patients with serious infections, both from bacterial and fungal origin. In a session coorganized by CIBERBNN and CIBERES , participants talked about the new molecular diagnostics techniques applied to sepsis, including PCR techniques, mass spectrometry and nanotechnology. They also presented clinical cases with innovative treatments by multiresistant bacteria, septic shock complications, and the most recent findings related to biomarkers. The course was chaired by Dr. Jordi Rello, head of the Clinical Research and Innovation in Pneumonia and Sepsis group at Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR), and coordinated by Dr. Cristopher Mazo, researcher from the same group. The next edition will be the 30th and 31st of March of 2016 and will be devoted to sepsis in immunocompromised patients.
