The routine ordering of ESR & CRP should stop.

These tests aren’t specific to any particular disease, they can’t differentiate infection from acute/chronic inflammation, and their ability to prognosticate is limited.

Prophylactic antifungals prior to a urologic procedure? What to do in this complicated case? Please weigh in! https://t.co/pyTjwlMeA2

@MCPhillipsMD Sometimes I feel like that with my consult notes.

RSV vaccine are cost savings in those >=60 with chronic kidney disease and cost effective in multiple other populations >=60

[Jake Lazarus @JacobLazarusMD]

@danbacic @MCPhillipsMD Right! This is not my area of expertise, so I'm wondering about the incidence rates. 1.69/100 p-y for TDF/FTC. 2.02/100 p-y for TAF/FTC. 2.41/100 p-y for the background rate. Is TAF/FTC worse? I guess we'll wait for the final data.

👏 Appreciate the "Rationale for Not Screening/Treating" section with clear explanation of the evidence base. 👏

@MWinklerMDPhD, recent @MGHBWHIDFellows @mgh_id reported on removal of pre-op UA from a surgery checklist 📋.

Check out the refreshed UpToDate Asymptomatic Bacteriuria article! We highlight new data re: pre-operative screening, and (I hope) have organized the content to emphasize stewardship. @UpToDate

[Erica S. Shenoy, MD, PhD @ericashenoy]

Appreciated the collaboration with colleagues @MassDPH on this case, and the thorough differential by @dr_demetre (who, of course, got it 💯right!).

#infectionprevention teams know cases like these always arrive on a Friday night (as did this one)! @mgh_id @MassGeneralNews

[Jake Lazarus @JacobLazarusMD]

@eeeejjjaaaa This is where the pre-clinical data would be strongest, yep. We don't have cx data from Hayward, but if that population is typical, >75% of those microbiologically proven infections would be E. coli. So, there should have been an effect, if a strong one were there.

D-mannose for the prevention of recurrent UTI: will you still recommend it? I gave my thoughts. Did I miss anything? I have a journal club coming up. Help me out...
