On Friday 19 September at 15:00, Victor Næstholt Dahl defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Epidemiology of nontuberculous mycobacterial disease in Denmark: insights and global perspectives".
Infections with NTM have been reported as an increasing global health problem and primarily affect elderly individuals with chronic lung disease. NTM, a diverse group of more than 200 bacterial species, can also cause disease in lymph nodes in children, skin and soft tissue infections, and disseminated disease in immunocompromised individuals. Despite the clinical significance and complexity of these infections, their epidemiology remains poorly understood.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in Auditurium G206-142, Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
