DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks support for the Immunocompromised Host Society's (ICHS) 17th International Symposium on Infections in the Immunocompromised Host. This meeting will be held in Stresa, Italy at the Hotel Regina Palace from June 24-27, 2012. The 17th symposium follows several successful symposia, the most recent ones being held in Budapest, Hungary (16th Symposium, 2010) and Thessaloniki, Greece (15th Symposium, 2008). The meeting is designed for infectious disease specialists, hematologists, oncologists, transplant physicians, microbiologists, immunologists and others with an interest in infections in the immunocompromised host. The topics discussed at the meeting will be particularly relevant to participants involved in the field of AIDS research as AIDS patients make up a significant portion of the immunocompromised population. The scientific program will include key sessions on all aspects of infections in the immunocompromised patient presented by internationally renowned experts in the field. The 16th International Symposium held in Budapest, Hungary in 2010 drew participants from more than 40 countries. The 17th symposium promises to promote the interchange of science and medicine in the context of the latest approaches to the care of immunocompromised patients. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The 17th International Symposium on Infections in the Immunocompromised Host is focused on the needs of the immunocompromised patient and brings together a wide variety of clinician/specialists and research scientists to discuss and exchange novel ideas and findings. Because a significant number of immunocompromised patients have AIDS, the information presented at this meeting is especially relevant to AIDS research and to the treatment of infections in AIDS patients. The past two Symposia have attracted between 350-450 participants from over 40 countries. This meeting greatly facilitates the interaction of individuals studying immunocompromised patients who would not normally interact, allowing novel collaborations for the treatment and management of infections in immunocompromised individuals to be discussed and disseminated to a broad, international audience.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在支持免疫功能低下宿主协会（ICHS）第17届免疫功能低下宿主感染国际研讨会。本次会议将于2012年6月24日至27日在意大利斯特雷萨的里贾纳宫酒店举行。第十七届研讨会在几次成功的研讨会之后举行，最近的一次是在匈牙利布达佩斯（第16届研讨会，2010年）和希腊塞萨洛尼基（第15届研讨会，2008年）举行的。会议专为传染病专家、血液学家、肿瘤学家、移植医生、微生物学家、免疫学家和其他对免疫受损宿主感染感兴趣的人设计。由于艾滋病患者占免疫功能低下人群的很大一部分，因此会议讨论的主题将与参与艾滋病研究领域的参与者特别相关。科学计划将包括由该领域的国际知名专家介绍的免疫功能低下患者感染的各个方面的关键会议。2010年在匈牙利布达佩斯举行的第16届国际研讨会吸引了来自40多个国家的与会者。第17届专题讨论会承诺在免疫功能低下患者护理的最新方法背景下促进科学和医学的交流。
