Madness for sure!

New pre-print from folks @ Copenhagen University Hospital: 🔬 28-month WGS surveillance 🦠 7,760 patient infections 📊 27.1% genetically related, 69% w/ epi link 💰 €1.25M net savings/year if acted upon/prevented! #IDSky more great evidence for WGS for IP&C 📄: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Nice collaborative study on valley fever prophylaxis in solid organ (non lung) transplant recipients #IDsky #TxID onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

But at least none of them will have autism, isn’t that right, RFK?

Very true. Cocci serologies not always reliable, especially in the immunocompromised hosts. Ag helpful, but if truly high suspicion — I’d start treatment. #TxID#IDsky

Not sure why the mavs wanted to get rid of Luka so badly….there must be a lot more to this story

Can anyone explain what the Trump admin is trying to accomplish by doing this?? Of course they want censorship and to “MAHA” however hiv and Sti treatments are all factual and based on significant evidence, and do not seem to be going against any pseudoscience. Purge all current information?

jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... Important for physicians to not sit on the sidelines during this important time. Mass amounts of medical information and FACTs are being deleted, censored from the public and healthcare alike. This admin promised transparency but instead are getting censorship.

Scary to see how much medical information is simply being deleted. How to keep it?? #medsky #IDsky

Post-hoc analysis of 📷 📷 study in MSSA/MRSA bacteremia: Persistent fever = indicator for complicated infection Fever on Day 4️⃣: aOR (3.7 (95% CI: 1.58-8.67)) mortality Fever on Day 7️⃣: aOR: (8.78 (95% CI: 2.78-27.7) 🚫 assn between ⬆️CRP/WBC and mortality #IDSky academic.oup.com/ofid/advance...

67 active cases of TB, likely to represent many more. Important for CDC to be on top of this, if they are allowed to..

How to prevent infections in the increasingly immunocompromised traveler? Part 1 (non-transplant) is out now! Stay tuned for part 2! @ritawilson.bsky.social @andhen25.bsky.social @ou.edu #IDSky #TxID journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Very nice study on a very important and common issue. Does this hold true in the SOT population as well?

Excellent review on herpesviruses post car T.

Exciting new field. Recent review I wrote as well. Fungal diagnostics always a challenge but new promising methods starting to be utilized. #IDsky #TxIDsky www.mdpi.com/2309-608X/11...

This is basically better than a current patriots game for a pats fan

Everyone in LA expresses their immense gratitude to @lafd.bsky.social for their tremendous courage and commitment to putting out the #LAwildfires

People need to focus on helping stop this devastation rather than politicizing it. #LAfires

The Emerging Threat of H5N1 to Human Health @michaelisonmd.bsky.social and @drjeannem.bsky.social in @nejm.org www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Use of voriconazole to predict susceptibility and resistance to isavuconazole for Aspergillus fumigatus using CLSI methods and interpretive criteria High rate of agreement suggests vori susceptibility can predict isa susceptibility in A fumigatus w/ CLSI AFST journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Mapping the Geographic Distribution of Dimorphic Mycoses Using a US Commercial Insurance Database @julioczuniga1.bsky.social @fungaldoc.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ofid/advance... More data to show that the geographic range of dimorphic fungal infections is much wider than taught in med school

Very nice article on difficult to treat infections, and the differences between CIED and VAD strategies

This is not an acceptable thing to do

Report from the OPTN ad hoc Disease Transmission Advisory Committee - Coccidiomycosis from Organ transplant Donors? "All 7 deceased donors had prior infection or exposure...8/20 recipients developed Cocci, resulting in a 40% transmission rate." #IDsky #TxID onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Bedaquiline great drug, but in the US not easy to get! And certainly not easy to get approved by insurance

Always humbling to go back to the basics.

This is going to save hospitals a lot of money ! www.pennmedicine.org/news/news-re...

Congrats all! #medsky #IDsky

Absolutely. These are high morbidity and mortality infections, especially in the hosts they typically infect.

It’s important the cdc stays on top of this. So far it has been thought not much if any human transmission but seeing wastewater in urban areas needs close monitoring.

Yes several extremist anti vaxxers do this and then claim To have published x amount of articles Re dangers of vaccines. Sadly, there are many people who believe them.

Nitrofurantoin has shown exceptional durability against resistance over 70y of use 🆕️✨️What makes nitrofurantoin robust against resistance evolution,in spite of prolonged & extensive usage against UTIs? #idsky #medsky #utisky www.nature.com/articles/s44...

I hope this potential pandemic risk is not completely ignored.
