@DrToddLee @BradSpellberg @BJegorovic @ABsteward @IDstewardship @PaulSaxMD @FungalDoc @tmhohl71 @marc I have found it helpful in a handful of these types of cases. The oncology and transplant pts are really tough when they get bad, and I have used it a couple of times in those cases when they were not responding to steroids and tmp/smx for days. Adding it seemed to make a diff

@BJegorovic @BradSpellberg @DrToddLee @IDiots_pod @IdVilchez @Mav_Rust @c Prob linezolid if I was worried about TSS. And +/- ivig if true shock

[Alice Han @dralicehan]

@ImBigPharma @DrToddLee @BradSpellberg @Zaydovudine Agree with others. Tmp-smx if true pathogen. But just say pt was allergic, then mino/unasyn or sulbactam-durlobactam

@Infected_Terran @BradSpellberg @Nico Cd4? I have never seen tb bacteremia but I think tb > mac bloodstream infections in endemic countries, but can happen at cd4 < 100 whereas mac usually only when cd4 < 50. Although I am sure there is an exception for everything. I agree with others re: tx both until PCR back

[Alice Han @dralicehan]

@BradSpellberg @Infected_Terran I can’t see the whole article but I don’t know what they mean by “robust” pleocytosis.

I think the point of the star and the CID article was that we miss hsv a lot, and we can’t go by neg hsv pcr or by no pleocytosis to rule it out if pretest clinical suspicion is high

[Alice Han @dralicehan]

@BradSpellberg @Infected_Terran Not bacterial meningitis. Specifically encephalitis

[Alice Han @dralicehan]

@Infected_Terran @BradSpellberg https://t.co/3BDik2PM4p
It was this article. And yes, it was shocking!

But it was right after STAR encephalitis review. This is was focused on encephalitis, not meningitis (and they largely discussed hsv)

Curbside consults are a daily reality in ID practice - but are we thinking carefully about the risk?
This article examines the clinical, ethical and legal dimensions of curbside consults and gives you practical strategies to minimize liability

How do you navigate a curbside?
Every ID doc knows the curbside consult 😅
Someone catches you in the hallway, asks you about a cx result, & suddenly you're giving advice on a pt you've never seen.
We discussed the pros, cons, & legal risks, right here👇

@IdVilchez @BradSpellberg @DrToddLee @ABsteward Interesting, I didn’t know it was generic. No, it won’t replace either for me. It’s still an infusion given every 8 hours. Much more incovenient than a dapto push or a linezolid pill

[Alice Han @dralicehan]

@AnilMakam Well that was the whole debate. I am on #teamdoesnotmatter but pple feel very strongly about it. Like I said, I hope it translates to debates on other topics but it does require the more open and fearless folks to engage and participate
