“Expect the Unexpected” Junior’s Session – 17 October 2024

Dear ESID members,

Time flies and ESID meeting 2024 is coming closer!

Due to the huge success and great feedback we have received throughout the last few years; we are now working on the shxth edition of the Juniors Workshop: “Expect the Unexpected” which will take place on Thursday 17 October 2024 (see the latest version of the programme here).

In the last years, we have not only had very interesting cases, great presentations, outstanding moderators, terrific expert panels but also exciting discussions that were generated around them.

If you are an ESID Junior member (*), we invite you to send us an interesting case on inborn error of immunity (^**) and have the opportunity to get an oral presentation at the ESID 2024 meeting in Marseille. Selected presenters will discuss their cases with a top experts’ panel during our interactive workshop!

Presenters of the selected cases will benefit from a FREE REGISTRATION (or reimbursement) to the ESID meeting 2024.

Submission instructions:

• Please submit a maximum of 5 slides summarizing the clinical case. Additionally, you can add an abstract (max. 300w) to include extra information that can be helpful in evaluating the case.  You will count with only 13 minutes to present and discuss your case.
• Please email your slides to: esid@kenes.com
• Extended Deadline: 07 June 2024

Selection criteria

All the presentations will be evaluated by three independent reviewers. Higher scores will be given to those cases where the final diagnosis and/or outcome are UNEXPECTED, considering the initial manifestations. Those cases rising a big discussion around laboratory results will also be highly scored (explaining pitfalls in the laboratory results that can be useful for the audience in their daily practice). The better the case is described (more data, confirmed pathogenicity of genetic variants, etc) the higher it will be scored.

We are very much looking forward to receive your applications!

Antonio Marzollo

Chair of ESID Junior’s Working Party
