Risk factors for Cryptococcal meningitis in people who are HIV negative

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

So it's official

Candida auris had another clade

Clade VI - from Singapore 🇸🇬

Interestingly looks relatively drug susceptible - for now...

[BRITMIC @BRITMICNetwork]

Thanks for the talk @DrNeilStone!

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Delighted to gave given a @BRITMICNetwork talk on novel antifungal drugs

There are loads of new antifungals coning through!

And they have names like fosmanogepix and ibrexafungerp..

Reminds me of

Now for Top Papers papers in transplant ID.

First up @HansHHirsch1 of 🇨🇭who picks a nice paper showing a reduced risk of bacteraemias patients on PJP prophylaxis because CTX is of course a broad spectrum antibiotic!

Top Papers in stem cell transplant infection

Clarisse Machado of 🇧🇷 picks them out

My fave-Infection diagnosis by metagenomics ..its a 🔥 topic

Group from 🇨🇳picked up many more viral and bacterial infections. Fungi - not so much

#eccmid2024 #escmidglobal2024

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Next in top papers in transplant and one from @TheLancetHaem on regionally specific infections in transplant

Depending on where you are in the 🌍don't forget coccidiomycosis , leishmaniasis , histoplasmosis ..

[BRITMIC @BRITMICNetwork]

Looking forward to strong partnerships with @BRITMICNetwork!

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Excited to get more involved with The ESCMID Study Group for Infections in Compromised Hosts (ESGICH) and meet in person some of its leaders including @MichaelIsonMD and @maricar_malinis!

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Good for end of day overload - 4 minute flash sessions. Short sharp to the point talks.👍👍👍

Hearing about Candida auris susceptibility testing from Maria Siopi of 🇬🇷where there is unfortunately a LOT of Candida auris ..

Transplant ID it's evolving.
Understanding infections in this setting are crucial to transplant success

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Social media is filled with disinformation. It can be a dire, dispiriting place.

But I've decided to stick around and not give in to the tsunami of nonsense on here.

If we leave - they win

[Esmita Charani @e_charani]

Interesting discussion on weaponisation of social media from extreme sides. We see it right now about politics & science
#ESCMIDGlobal24
‘Taking yourself out of the equation is not an option. Must stay online and contribute to the narrative.’ Totally agree @kakape @DrNeilStone

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

No surprise that #eccmid2024 #ESCMIDGlobal opens with a focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR)

This is not only the biggest issue in Infectious Diseases, but for all of us.

Simply one of the biggest threats to humanity- as we face a world without effective antibiotics

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Scedosporium and lomentospora are two of the nastiest, hardest to treat fungi out there.

@FannyLanternier from 🇫🇷 here updating us at

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

All set for #eccmid2024 #ESCMIDGlobal, the largest Infectious Diseases and Microbiology conference of the year

I'll be tweeting highlights over the next 4 days - will be following on line initially but will be joining soon in Barcelona!

@mnoursad @DrNeilStone @BRITMICNetwork @GermHunterMD @ecmorris @WilsonAndrewDr #ECCMID Using comprehensive data from every solid organ transplant in Switzerland - able to estimate the burden & cause of infections in these patients. Enterobacteriaceae, enterococcus & resp viruses dominating with low rates of the classic 'opportunistic' pathogens.
