Fungal nail infections
We have produced this guide for people who need to collect nail samples to send for testing. It is important to follow these instructions in order to get an accurate test result
Vulval skincare
We produced this leaflet for patients who are struggling with vulvovaginal yeast infections (thrush). Frequent episodes of thrush are a common problem and do not mean you are ‘dirty’ – in fact, many people see improvement when they stop using harsh soaps
Chronic aspergillosis
MRCM works closely with the National Aspergillosis Centre (part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust), which manages chronic forms of aspergillosis infection (CPA) and allergy (ABPA)
