Dr Maria Karsas has achieved great heights

Maria was successful in having her abstract ‘The value of multiple testing modalities in determining the severity of respiratory infections in young children’ accepted for presentation in London at the ‘Excellence in Paediatrics’ Congress in December 2015 (picture below).

She was then awarded a Travelling Fellowship (the only one from Africa) to attend the American Academy Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Congress in Los Angeles in March 2016.

And in April 2016 she had her article ‘Serious bacterial infections in febrile young children: Lack of value of biomarkers’ published in the South African Journal of Child Health.

What wonderful success!

Well done Maria. You make us proud.
