RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 ERS International Congress, Madrid, 2019: highlights from the Respiratory Infections Assembly JF ERJ Open Research JO erjor FD European Respiratory Society SP 00316-2019 DO 10.1183/23120541.00316-2019 VO 6 IS 2 A1 Cristina Calarasu A1 Kiarina D. Chichirelo-Konstantynovych A1 Stefan Frent YR 2020 UL http://openres.ersjournals.com/content/6/2/00316-2019.abstract AB The European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress organised in Madrid, Spain, in 2019 welcomed >22 000 participants from 134 countries. For each ERS assembly, an impressive number of abstracts were submitted. The topics covered by Assembly 10 (Respiratory Infections and Tuberculosis) were included this year in the top five research areas with the most submitted abstracts, with a total of 424 abstracts accepted for presentation. As it would be difficult for any delegate to stay up to date with all the scientific advances in the field, we wanted to highlight three of the Congress sessions that included presentations on respiratory infections and tuberculosis that we deemed as important and we hope the readers will consider this material of great interest.The areas covered by @EuroRespSoc Assembly 10 were very well served at #ERSCongress 2019: 219 abstracts that focused on respiratory infections and 205 on tuberculosis https://bit.ly/2XShcNs
