What is your suggestion to me, applied visa to #Lisbon for #ECCMID2022 but still not received it, 24 hours to board flight? @ESCMID @visitportugal @IndiainPortugal @Portugal #IDtwitter #MedTwitter @VFSGlobalVisa @VFSGlobal @tapairportugal @portugaltheman @EUCIC1 @DrSJaishankar

[Suresh Kumar Doraira @dskinfdis]

Good. But unfortunately in #India very difficult to get. Any suggestions?

Doing a bit of co-sampling and then these are off to the field! #covidco2

[Suresh Kumar Doraira @dskinfdis]

Yes agreed, but still when #hiv associated stigma is not gone completely in #developing world, writing #HAART in case summaries is less stigmatizing then writing well known term #ART @PaulSaxMD

Time to bring out this important public message for clinicians everywhere

Constant menace without solution at Gowthamar street, Ramananagar, Perambur. Awaiting #Dengue outbreak. Is permanant solution possible? @CMWSSB @chennaicorp @GSBediIAS @mkstalin

[Suresh Kumar Doraira @dskinfdis]

Hi, instead of nailing the diagnosis, better to differential and how you narrowed down will help, young #ID fellows and learners.

@gradydoctor Thank you my friend! Paraphrasing Lou Gehrig, “I feel that I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth”and for that I am incredibly grateful.

Good question: Why is #SARSCoV2 prone to superspreading, following the Pareto 80-20 rule for over-dispersion of infections, but not H1N1 or other pathogens?

To say yes or no to #programdirector (PD) offer of oldest #ID training program in #India. #Challenges are
1. No compensation for faculty & PD
2. So didactic, @lunch hours only
3. No formal structured training
4. No networking with other programs....@IDSAInfo @JenniferSpicer4
