Alpha-Mannosidosis

This 60-minute webinar addresses a critical unmet need: educating pediatricians on the link between Alpha-Mannosidosis (AM) and immune system dysfunction. Led by Prof. Susanna Esposito and Prof. Giacomo Biasucci, the session explores recurring infections, diagnostic challenges, overlaps with immunodeficiencies, and the integration of immunological monitoring into multidisciplinary care. The goal is to optimize patient management by improving recognition, diagnosis, and treatment pathways.
