@AmirStocksMD @SeeFisch You are going to have to justify that statement, it is wild.

[Matthew Brigmon @MBrigmon]

@LBaddour1 @MayoClinicINFD @S_Chesdachai Neat!

@JuniorMosimann @ABsteward What about “These results support consideration of 1 year of suppressive valacyclovir treatment for HZO.” Do you not understand???

@HeartOTXHeartMD @MattWhite_95 You are going to like it out there.

[Matthew Brigmon @MBrigmon]

@luisfgiraldo Sounds like it should be tested in a randomized clinical trial. That would be something.

@ChrisTo51777090 @SenSanders About not being clear about if vaccines cause autism?

@TheSurajKannan @soupvector @IdVilchez I think the other thing that irks some of us is the studies that favor fidax for recurrence tend to have someone with a COI with merck. The opt 80 stopped at 4 weeks for recurrence. I saw a positive article today in jid for fidax by the same group.

[Matthew Brigmon @MBrigmon]

I was informed today by my surgical colleagues that their boards state that fidaxomicin is better than vancomycin for c diff. Is that a consensus in the ID community?

@DrToddLee @nickmmark @DrJesseMorse @DrNeilStone Nice burn

@BradSpellberg @DrToddLee @StevenMathern @costplusdrugs Somehow i was being told that we should be giving it to all our patients over 65 and immunocompromised by non id physicians.

[Matthew Brigmon @MBrigmon]

@DrToddLee @StevenMathern @BradSpellberg @costplusdrugs We don’t have the recurrence rates locally at our institution that others report. For us it is stupid to start someone on fidaxomicin unless they have failed vanc. In most cases i doubt the diagnosis to begin with.

@nickmmark Doing the lords work today I see.

[Matthew Brigmon @MBrigmon]

I have a patient who is on ertapenem for esbl organism osteomyelitis. @UHC approved 4 wks of antibiotics but now is asking for more out of pocket costs from the patient for the last 2 weeks bc of the new year. Why are you so non compassionate?

[Matthew Brigmon @MBrigmon]

@nickmmark The timeline explanation made it sound like most ai experts thought no one knows when but probably longer than you think.
