5^th International Conference on Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs

Rare Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology: Rare infectious diseases are infections that occur infrequently within a particular population or geographical setting, although their frequency may vary significantly across regions. Medical microbiology investigates the microorganisms responsible for infections, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, along with their interactions with the human body. This session explores uncommon infections, unusual microbial behaviour, host susceptibility, laboratory identification, antimicrobial resistance, emerging pathogens, and specialised diagnostic approaches.
