Cefazolin in the treatment of pneumonia - PubMed
Cefazolin is a semi-synthetic derivative of cephalosporin C that has a lower cross-immunogenicity with penicillins than do the other cephalosporins. This agent was evaluated as an alternative to penicillin in the therapy of patients with pneumococcal pneumonia. Thirty patient were treated with cefaz …

ICYMI: Childhood tuberculosis: A descriptive study in a pneumo-pediatrics department in Tunisia
We have a patient with penicillin -susceptible S. pneumo bacteremia. He recently started hemodialysis. Would anyone consider post-HD cefazolin? I've never done post-HD ceftriaxone even though I know some data for that. Thoughts? Thank you!

Can we get flu; pneumo; and RSV vaccines available earlier than October? Move it up to end of Sept? Makes sense to start earlier as germs are spread with kids returning to school and being in more enclosed spaces due to colder weather. Also ADVERTISE where to get vaccine and Stop charging for Covid

An der Stelle die dringende Empfehlung zur jährlichen Grippeimpfung (Schutz gegen Pneumo, Rhino, Influenza, Corona):
Man unterbricht die Infektionskette, geht selbst weniger gefährdet durch die Grippesaison und es schützt buchstäblich Menschen, die stärker gefährdet sind als der Durchschnitt.

Vielleicht ist es mal nötig auszusprechen: ich bin täglich konkret tödlich gefährdet, sobald ich nur meine Wohnung verlasse.
Der Briefträger, die Passantin mit Hund, der Vermieter, alle könnten verursachen dass ich in 5 Tagen tot bin.
Nur dass ihr einschätzen könnt, wie 1/3

It was an initial surprise that for CAP we use amp/sul over ceftriaxone for inpatients (I think the argument was for lower cdiff risk), but this data makes me feel better about it.
Though do always wonder about Klebs pneumo or some other GNRs that we sometimes forget in CAP

Respiratory syncytial virus–mediated Gas6/Axl axis induces hyporesponsive macrophages to promote pneumococcal proliferation in the nasopharynx
Streptococcus pneumoniae commonly colonizes the nasopharynx of children asymptomatically, but under certain conditions, it can cause invasive diseases such as pneumonia. The mechanisms driving this transition are not fully understood.MethodsIn this study, we utilized a pneumococcal nasopharyngeal colonization model and subsequent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection to investigate the mechanism of bacterial expansion. We observed loads in nasal and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids. We also measured the expression of the growth arrest-specific protein 6 (Gas6) in the nasal lavage. We further assessed the effect of selective inhibition of the Axl receptor using BGB324 on RSV-mediated growth. Macrophage phenotypes were analyzed in vivo using M1-like markers and confirmed in vitro using Gas6-treated bone marrow-derived macrophages.ResultsWe observed increased loads in nasal and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids following RSV infection. RSV infection also upregulated the expression of Gas6 in the nasal lavage, and selective inhibition of the Axl receptor using BGB324 effectively attenuated RSV-mediated growth. In addition, compared with mice with colonization alone, mice with subsequent RSV infection exhibited decreased expression of M1-like macrophage markers in the nasal cavity. In vitro assays confirmed that Gas6 suppressed M1 macrophage polarization, fostering an immunosuppressive microenvironment conducive to bacterial proliferation.ConclusionsOur findings reveal that the RSV infection–induced Gas6/Axl axis facilitates pneumococcal overgrowth by modulating macrophage function. Targeting the RSV-induced Gas6/Axl axis or modulating macrophage polarization may offer novel therapeutic strategies for preventing or managing severe pneumococcal infections exacerbated by viral pathogens such as RSV.
