@ABsteward Remains the most challenging outpatient visits I've had. It's like trying to convince the parents the sky is red (meant with no disrespect to these families who are struggling intensely).

Delusional infestation is a condition encountered frequently by healthcare professionals across a variety of specialties in which patients have a fixed, false belief that they are infested with living creatures,such as bugs,parasites, worms,or mites,or nonliving objects #idxposts

@BradSpellberg @DrToddLee @DrEmilyMcD @Wiki_Guidelines "I am a chicken" is so honest. I love the writing style and wish more academic writing was similar.

[Brad Spellberg @BradSpellberg]

On ID consults, pulled out this old letter to editor, criticizing guidelines for recommending CT before LP. I been howling at the moon for 20 yrs. Scary. Take a good look @DrToddLee and @DrEmilyMcD and team @Wiki_Guidelines at your old & cranky future...

Based on available data, CDC reports almost all US cases of monkeypox have been among men, disproportionately Black, Latino and HIV+ men, and 99% reported sexual contact with other men. We must focus our response effectively.

@COpedsID @ColeLyndsey Those are fantastic visuals

How long to watch for a “rule out”?? The 48h rule is antiquated. By 24-36 hours, most bacteremia is identified if present. A 24-36h rule out is safe and avoids prolonged hospitalization. #VailPedsID2022 @COpedsID

@COpedsID Did you decide on metronidazole monotherapy on discharge? :)

According to CDC data the risk of MIS-C is est as 1 in a million for a child that has received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. That compares to 200 per million of unvaccinated. (📸via Healio)
