Hello #IDsky! I’m an ID doctor in private practice and had a great time on the IDSA podcast last year with @paulsaxmd.bsky.social
Spoiler alert: the grass is greener in private practice! Hope it’s just as green over here. 🌱

The hospital is handing out taffy apples 🍎today, and I am just here to say they are delicious!
I am ashamed to admit I grew up in the midwest, and this is the first time I have ever had a taffy apple.
Don’t make my mistake, go try one now! They are so good! 😋

Wow!!! This is a really exciting prospect. To think that the COVID19 mRNA primes the immune system to make immunotherapy more effective against cancer is a BIG deal. This is fascinating science 🤩

This year's #IDweek is now over. Our community has taken so many hits since the pandemic and now the assaults on public health, science, vaccines etc.
Yet the infectious disease community has some of the most dedicated, resilient and thoughtful people I know.
Here's to hope & staying with the fight.

Sometimes the best part of the conferences are the Q&A sessions afterwards
-Someone asked what do you do with pts colonized with MDRO’s prior to transplant
-Dr Papanicolau creates a detailed abx plan for when pt has a neutropenic fever
-Someone said that they decolonize w/ oral gentamicin 🤯

AML is the primary hematologic malignancy associated with invasive fungal infection
What a great slide looking at the mutations we see in AML, very rare pts with MRD post induction and not need to proceed with allo HSCT as shown in green box

Fascinating lecture on the respiratory microbiome
Our understanding of the resp microbiome has changes dramatically but the commensals may actually be protective against pathogenic bacteria

serotype distribution & resistance prior to pcv 20/21
- non bacteremic hospitalized episodes of pneumococcus have a different serotype distribution and tend to have higher resistance than IPD
- interesting breakdown on differences bw what pcv20 vs 21 would cover if vaccinated

ADAPT-Sepsis
You can use procal but not CRP to guide abx
But maybe also refer to BALANCE Trial to also help guide duration for gram neg sepsis - which she also discussed. As well as DOTS
