Thirteen institutions (54%) reported an independent infectious disease, and two a separate Medical Mycology department (8%); a Medical Mycology working group was reported for nine institutions (38%). An infectious disease consultation service was existent in 16 institutions (67%) and a multidisciplinary conference in 13 (54%). Fifteen institutions reported a separate study office with activities in infectious disease studies (63%). Laboratory capability for fungal identification and susceptibility testing was confirmed by all 24 institutions; testing of galactomannan by 23 (96%), cryptococcal antigen by 21 (88%), \u00df\u2010D\u2010Glucan by 9 (38%), and panfungal and <jats:italic>Pneumocystis<\/jats:italic> PCR by 21 and 22 (88% and 92%), respectively.
