Welcome to the ESPID 2022 Meeting Calendar

Session Description:

This symposium aims to highlight recent therapeutic advances in the management of bacterial infections in paediatric patients. Throughout this pragmatic session, through patient case studies, our expert faculty will highlight the urgent need for safe and effective treatment options to address the current and anticipated burden of bacterial disease. While one speaker will address the growing threat of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative infections and explore how alternative treatment options could improve patient outcomes, another expert will challenge the current standard of care used to treat community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTIs), reviewing the potential role of therapeutic advances in meeting a clinical unmet need. The symposium will close with a panel discussion, where our esteemed faculty will discuss topics including the need for right-first-time treatment decisions, risk factors for infection in paediatric patients and the role of the multidisciplinary team in effective patient management. Additionally, there will be an opportunity for the audience to engage with the faculty by submitting pressing questions during the discussion for the panel to address.
