Abstract

Online social media networks are an integral part of modern life. Microblogging sites such as Twitter have hundreds of millions of active users globally and have been enthusiastically adopted by many in the medical profession. For advancing a relatively neglected field such as fungal infection, this can be especially advantageous.

This review highlights the ways in which this can work successfully in the case of aspergillosis and fungal infection in general, as well as highlighting the dangers and pitfalls of social media medicine.
