[Medical examinations of refugees should be harmonized].

From June 2016, medical examination is no longer a mandatory part of the integration process for refugees arriving in Denmark. Throughout Denmark there is a great variation in the way medical examinations of refugees are carried out. There are neither national guidelines nor strategies for how to manage this challenge systematically and equally throughout the country. We encourage the local municipalities together with the regions and general practitioners to find a solution for a uniform approach.

[Standard ophthalmological examination of patients with candidaemia is recommended]. / Rutinemæssig oftalmologisk opfølgninganbefales ved candidæmi.

The incidence of candidaemia is increasing on a global scale. Secondary intraocular involvement is a rare but serious complication, which can cause considerable visual damage. Hence, current national and international guidelines recommend ophthalmological examination of all patients with verified candidaemia in order to ensure adequate therapy and reduce the risk of visual impairment. We present a case illustrating that initial symptoms and findings of ocular candidiasis may often be subtle which emphasizes the importance of consistent adherence to these guidelines.
