@drtimothyli Sometimes we treat both on a case-by-case basis, but in that case we have to manage the interaction between voriconazole and rifampin (we call this the "Vorif problem")

An 8-year-old-boy was brought to the doctor by his father for evaluation of painless facial lesions that were present for 3 weeks. On examination, a cluster of umbilicated papules were seen over his right cheek.
A pt w/ BKV hemorrhagic cystitis after Allo-BMT has been on cipro for 3 wks and asked his doctor why. He said it was administered for BKV activity. I thought he was mistaken, but it was indeed listed in the 2005 CID; whether or not it is really administered is another matter😑
Myth or fact? Ciprofloxacin was shown to have anti-BKV activity, and 500 mg twice daily for 2 months provided prophylaxis against BKV-hemorrhagic cystitis🤔
Loss of diversity of the gut microbiota results in a poor prognosis after Allo transplantation. It is hypothesised that this is due to a decrease in short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, pentagonate, etc.) produced by some Clostridium spp. after ABx use. Looking forward to reading
