Welcome to the ICHS Blog

We are trying something new here at the Immunocompromised Host Society, or something that is new for us. There is a lot of information available on the website www.ichs.org but it is sometimes difficult to make your way through it. Through this blog, we will try to post new items of interest to our member and we will have appropriate links back to the website to make it easier to find them.

Along the right side of the page you will also see links to News items concerning the Immunocompromised Host from various sources on the web. The intent is not for the Society to endorse these articles but simply to provide them for easy review.

There is also an area of upcoming dates of interest such as conferences, abstract submission deadlines, registration events, etc.

As is true of all such endeavors. The site is only as good as the information posted. We welcome submissions of relevant information. You are also encouraged to comments for improvement.
