Great to present feasibility study on AI to detect invasive pulmonary mould infections from CT scans at #BIASpring2025.

Proof-of-concept but need to develop surrounding infrastructure to develop this and other AI projects within NHS.

Histoplasma antigen screening in advanced HIV disease Ilan S Schwartz, Alessandro C Pasqualotto; Histoplasma antigen screening in advanced HIV disease, Clinical Infectious Diseases, , ciaf238, https://doi.org/

Histoplasmosis remains an important cause of AIDS-related deaths in many regions

Histoplasma antigen tests are now cheap, accessible, and can be done at POC

Are such assays ready to be used for routine screening of patients with advanced HIV?

We have thoughts πŸ€”
