About the author
Professor Henrik Elvang Jensen has served as a pathologist for nearly 40 years and has had the privilege of receiving fungal infection cases from all over the world for diagnostic consultation. Therefore, he has been able to collect several cases of almost all kinds of invasive fungal infections in humans and animals. Moreover, he has on a yearly basis given lectures and courses on the histomorphological diagnosis of mycoses in several countries and arranged pre-congress workshops at different world congresses including the ISHAM congresses in Berlin (2012), Melbourne (2015), Amsterdam (2018) on the same topic. During the years, he has published more than 100 peer review papers and chapters in textbooks and being a co-author of more international guidelines all dealing with the histopathological diagnosis of invasive mycoses.
