Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The Infectious Diseases Working Party (AGIHO) was established in 1996 as one of the subgroups of the German Society of Hematology and Medical Oncology (DGHO). Marking its 30th anniversary this year, the AGIHO reflects on a period of significant achievement and growth. Beyond its core mission of developing evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of infections in patients with cancer, the AGIHO has evolved into a vital platform for clinical trials, collaborative research, and postgraduate medical education. To ensure long-term sustainability and foster emerging talent, “Young AGIHO” was launched in 2023. This initiative aims to strengthen networking among early career physicians specializing in hematology and oncology with a strong focus on infectious diseases. The working party has also expanded its geographical footprint by integrating colleagues from Austria and Switzerland, thereby enhancing its international presence. Through the publication of guidelines in high-ranking international journals, AGIHO visibility has increased significantly. Representatives of the working party now serve as experts for scientific and health policy committees both nationally and internationally. As one of the DGHO's largest and most active subgroups, the AGIHO is ideally positioned to address future challenges in the field.
