Recent Hard Talks Webinars: Key Highlights and Insights


 The “IPOPI Hard Talks” series is steadily progressing, bringing together important stakeholders in PID diagnosis and care, including clinicians, nurses and patient group leaders. The series offers interactive discussions and expert debates, tackling challenging topics while expanding outreach to key opinion leaders across regions and enhancing clinical expertise. In November, we hosted two more insightful Hard Talks sessions, continuing our efforts to improve PID diagnosis and patient care.

  • Management and Treatment of Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (APAP)

On October 10, 109 participants from 26 countries joined us to explore the advances in the management and treatment of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP)

The session was moderated by Martine Pergent (IPOPI President) and Dr Nizar Mahlaoui (Chair of IPOPI MAP).

  • Flow Cytometry Screening for Earlier PID Diagnosis

On November 19, the final session of 2024 explored the role of flow cytometry in early PID diagnosis, gathering 195 viewers from 52 countries. The session, led by Martine Pergent (IPOPI President) and Dr Nizar Mahlaoui (Chair of IPOPI MAP), featured Dr Rita Carsetti, who emphasised the versatility of flow cytometry as a tool for reducing diagnostic delays. Dr Antonio Condino Neto expanded the conversation by addressing age-related challenges in diagnosis and identifying key markers for specific PIDs.
