Happy #DayofImmunology 2024! I was blown away by the amazing questions from the audience at our panel event @TheCrick on immunity in pregnancy and early life. @IMPRINT_network
#ECCMID2024 'Group A Streptococcus is a card carrying pathogen. An absolute beast' 1/n....
Next up: DOTS trial studying dalbavancin vs SOC for SAB (33% MRSA). Primary outcome DOOR at day 70, designed as superiority analysis. Good mix of infection sources including endovascular. @ESCMID #ESCMIDGlobal2024
Good news but still lots to do. MMR jab uptake among young people in England up by 23% since 2023, says NHS theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
#ESCMID Young Investigator Award winner @nathanbrendish getting to point of point-of-care testing, the future of #POCT, and its importance for patient care. #ESCMID #ECCMID2024
I had plans to do lots of productive admin this afternoon Fortunately those plans were torpedoed by a torrent of fascinating and challenging clinical problems I love treating infectious diseases 🥰

Sharing this as a reminder that we need to keep monitoring the long-term impact of policies after most people have forgotten and moved on. For me not about blame but learning and doing better in future.

Obvious that zero covid psychologists knew little infectious disease epidemiology.Seems they were limited wrt to psychology too. Great paper by @BareReality @princessjack @rwjdingwall @LucyGoBag @michael_riordan @SelfHarmRes onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… COI: I have a psychology degree
Now hearing from the venerable Woolf Walker on the management of infections in Cystic Fibrosis in children Pseudomonas and biofilms…not good Important to aggressively treat first isolation of PA to try and eradicate before biofilm formation
Just finished fascinating discussions around osteoarticular infections in children How much do we care about Kingella kingae? Do associated bacteraemias with S aureus need longer courses of IV? Can some kids have entire oral courses of antibiotics?

Excited to be hosting the @bpaiig training days this week in @SotonChildHosp! With some amazing speakers, 30 delegates in person and loads more joining virtually should be a great couple of days!
I’ve been MIA from Twitter for a while. But, I came back to recommend this podcast with @apsmunro. A concise, realistic podcast on FEVER with plenty of clinical pearls and suggested explanations to reassure parents. Excellent!

If you use Twitter you may wonder: why is everyone so extreme in their views? It turns out that they aren’t, but an overlapping set of intentional and unintentional design choices suppresses the large number of moderate voices & amplifies extremists, with bad consequences for us

Really enjoyed this episode at @RCPCHtweets Paeds Round Podcast by @apsmunro! open.spotify.com/episode/43Tlwq… ‘Observation is the best investigation for febrile children’ is definitely my take home message from this excellent discussion. #PaedsRound #Paedstwitter
I just overheard my 3yo say, “happiness is chicken” And he is very much giving the same energy as his father in a @NandosUK 🌶️ 🐓
I was recently able to answer a pretty complex clinical query based on a fact I originally remembered seeing and learnt on Twitter (and subsequently independently verified to be true ofc) I learn a lot here, but pretty cool I can directly attribute this clinical advice to it
a 1 month old child died of pertussis few days ago in italy. In 2024. that makes no sense, for such a preventable death. hearth broken

@apsmunro @PaulSaxMD Same, and I also like how it enables the conversation to continue about certain topics raised at the conference, and allowing participation in this without being there. Social networking for good!
@apsmunro @ABsteward Glad I’m a source of amusement. Frankly given the quality of the podcast it’s all I can hope for.
Each year, during ECCMID in Europe -- now called #ESCMIDGlobal -- I'm reminded of the first time I saw the power of this platform for education, as I didn't attend but learned SO MUCH from colleagues. Hope we can keep it that way! x.com/PaulSaxMD/stat…
Way back in April of this year, I received a kind invitation from @PaulPottingerMD to speak about Twitter at this year’s IDWeek. 1/x
1) No. 2) Yes. 3) Maybe but currently irrelevant as steroids need to be given early in the course and viral aetiology will not be known. 4) Not with current technology and lack of investment. UK drs need to do the basics better first tbh.
Should preschoolers with wheeze get oral steroids 🤔? Do steroids benefit some and not others💊? Does viral aetiology matter 🦠? Can we move towards a precision medicine approach 🎯? Really enjoyed writing this editorial with @DrHelenGroves & @HannahRubyNB adc.bmj.com/content/early/…
An Australian politician promoting and explaining randomised controlled trials!! #randomisedcare is better than random care. Can be done for drugs and devices, should be done for many policies
Eliminating scurvy took more than empty theorising. In 1747, it was a randomised trial that cured the deadly disease. Today, our government is looking at how randomised trials can transform policy too. #randomistas #auspol
@DrToddLee @apsmunro @agarwalamberr @BJegorovic @ABsteward @dralicehan @ABstewardess @maudi_ahmed @IdVilchez @Cortes_Penfield Strong agree. And agree with Dr Lee, as written in IE WikiGuidelines, there is no role for gent in endocarditis period, and it should not be used and is harmful. The consideration of 1-2 d of low dose gent to clear blood cultures is distinct and an evidence free zone.
@apsmunro @BradSpellberg @agarwalamberr @BJegorovic @ABsteward @dralicehan @ABstewardess @maudi_ahmed @IdVilchez @Cortes_Penfield Yes. I do not use gent in pvie either. Poor evidence of benefit. Definitely risk of harm.

Is there any other anti infective drug as versatile as tmp-smx? Treats: bacteria gram positive and negative Fungi (e.g. PCP) Parasites (e.g. toxo)
Or doing admin work I guess Maybe not that same thing
Men will work up unexplained fever instead of going to therapy
I had plans to do lots of productive admin this afternoon Fortunately those plans were torpedoed by a torrent of fascinating and challenging clinical problems I love treating infectious diseases 🥰
@apsmunro "Fever of unknown origin for 3 weeks, rash, spleen and liver slightly enlarged, polyserositis, high inflammation lab. No serology possible because treated with IVIG in previous hospital". I love those cases. Will get better with doxy and we won't find a diagnosis, but still...
