@GPetranyi @MayoClinicINFD Thought that too, but isn’t it a mold?

@MayoClinicINFD Elevated beta-glucan argues against blasto, which doesn’t really need patients to be immunocompromised. Wouldn’t use vori unless CNS. Disseminated candidiasis due to C krusei?

@olsonplanner I mean… they describe one school as a “dream school,” they’ll always wonder if they don’t pursue the option they feel will provide the best training. Worry about the finances later. This is the way.

@IdVilchez @JGPharmD Would love to see replies to this. I’ve used clinda for the worst cases (tried and true) but linezolid for cases in which need for synergy probably debatable.

@JGPharmD Feels like we have in Madison WI too. More GAS necrotizing fasciitis and TSS in last month or two than last couple years.

@drtimothyli Biopsy deficiency. How can you tell between invasive aspergillosis and disseminate fusarium?

@EMIMMD @ABsteward Dipstick exposed to air, improperly stored urine sample, Asymptomatic bacteriuria with an organism that reduces nitrates, exposure to Pyridium for urinary symptoms.

A 8 year old boy p/w high grade fever, sore throat & a diffuse rash that has started to peel. Exam w/a diffuse sandpaper-like rash on the trunk & extremities that spares his palms and soles. Circumoral pallor +. What is the likely diagnosis? #FOAMed https://t.co/4TmzPWHXeu

@OncIDPharmd @mmPharmD @a_lepak @merwimmer Thank you for pulling this out. Our sulbactam MIC is only 8 so we can probably pull back closer to 6 g q 8 over 4 hours or 18g over 24. Drop our risk of beta-lactam tox (also on Cefidorocol)

@mmPharmD @a_lepak @merwimmer @OncIDPharmd Haha, that makes sense. One way to stay cool. Will definitely look into. Thanks again!

[Michael Kessler @Kessler2Michael]

@mmPharmD @a_lepak @merwimmer Thx! Wish I could say it was for a reason more sophisticated than, “IDSA AMR guidance told me to do it.” Somehow patient is tolerating so far. Ice packs for phlebitis? Giving centrally so hopefully will avoid. Dispo’s tough though. :/

@JessTischendorf @uw_infdisease @Swapnil_ID @a_lepak @LambertMDMC @lindsntaylor @MikeScolarici @carolinebewing Something about the way streptococcus gallolyticus mistreats me… only makes me like it more.

@cathyjrasmussen @RadJaxTwin @KelseyObGyn Female residents are questioned by peers, patients, and yes… even RNs, more often then their male counterparts. @KelseyObGyn is shining a light on a systemic problem and she defended RNs in the same tweet. Please don’t suggest she keep this issue to herself and administrators.

@a_lepak The accumulation of debris… I’ve definitely been called worse, but it is an eerily accurate summary of my existence to date.

[Michael Kessler @Kessler2Michael]

@MikeScolarici @jeannina_smith @uw_infdisease @TheIDtrivia @JessTischendorf @a_lepak @dssiraj @davidrandes @Swapnil_ID @cjcrnich1 But the doctor is walking with a tiger… this is as close to cool as many of us in ID will ever feel. Unless they finally loosen up on that no tigers in the hospital policy

[Michael Kessler @Kessler2Michael]

@uw_infdisease @TheIDtrivia @JessTischendorf @jeannina_smith @a_lepak @dssiraj @davidrandes @Swapnil_ID @MikeScolarici @cjcrnich1 Marry Doxycycline, kill Keflex, 7-10 days of bliss with Dalbavancin.

@RadaR_Skier Hey! Figuring this stuff out a bit!

[Michael Kessler @Kessler2Michael]
