Thanks to @NEJMEvidence for the chance to share our framework on the risks of IDU and opportunities to mitigate harm.

A privilege to work with and learn from @katherinemrich, the engine and the brains behind this operation. The future of ID/addiction medicine is bright.

What are the mechanisms (structural, social, physiologic) that result in complications of injection drug use?

And how can we improve health among individuals who inject drugs?

@dsolsMD and I share a framework and a review of current evidence in a new 2 part series. 1/x

@SanjayDivakaran @BrighamMedRes Did I really say "tell the truth?" Sounds so patronizing, but I suppose it is remains good advice to live by.

And look how prescient I was – a decade on we are still having fun and learning together.

We should update our (non-patronizing) tips for new interns.

@DrEllenEaton @PaulSaxMD @dralicehan @serotavirus @sebpoule @shireeshabug Good find -- bookmarked!

[Daniel Solomon @dsolsMD]

@anaweilmd @PaulSaxMD @JessicaLittleMD @DrWilfredoM @CourtHarrisMD @EllenNagami 😂😂 not sure how that page qualifies me for the job, not my finest moment of fellowship. But a good lesson in humility nonetheless.

[Daniel Solomon @dsolsMD]

I am so excited and to take over the reins from @PaulSaxMD (aka the GOAT 🐐) - grateful for your mentorship and friendship.

And thrilled to work with and learn from our wonderful ID fellows like @JessicaLittleMD @DrWilfredoM @CourtHarrisMD @EllenNagami and many more.

[MGB Infectious Diseases Fellowship @MGHBWHIDFellows]

We bid a heartfelt adieu to @PaulSaxMD and thank him for 20 years as Associate Program Director for the fellowship. 🖤 Congratulations on your new role as editor-in-chief of CID!

And we are SO excited to welcome @dsolsMD as our incoming APD! ⭐️ Thank you for coming aboard!

Last Call:
ID Providers, how do you treat bacterial infections in PWID in the US? By completing this 5 min survey, you will help us understand practice patterns & advance patient-centered care @dsolsMD @shireeshabug @ABeieler @SikkaMon @alicecthornton

[Ellen Eaton @DrEllenEaton]

#ID providers, we would like to know how you treat bacterial infections in PWID +/- outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) in the U.S. Please share in this 5 min survey: https://t.co/alufRNckJn
Please and Thank you! @dsolsMD @alicecthornton @SikkaMon @ABeieler

@keenanconazole @BWDionne @mmPharmD Or give both? Dalbavancin with Rx for TMP/SMX understanding that oral adherence / 2nd dose are hard for people for different reasons.

You have probably seen this study by @shireeshabug and colleagues. High loss to f/u as expected.

@BrighamMedRes @DPipilasMD Great case, and wonderfully presented by @DPipilasMD

Would highlight: when to start ART in setting of OI?

*Usually* the answer is right away.

Major exception is Crypto meningitis esp when CSF WBC are low.

Throwback to Lyme session -- useful summary of different stages of infection from @dsolsMD

Note: PTLD is a REAL syndrome, but not treated with more abx.

[BWH ID in Primary Care @BWH_IDinPCARE]

The countdown is on, BWH ID in primary care course starts tomorrow! Follow along to pick up on ID trade secrets and pearls from faculty including:

@sigal_md @PaulSaxMD @dsolsMD @MaryMoWuzHere @JakeJohnsonMD @jfrang @SanjatKanjilal @PaigeWickner @bwh_id

and more!

[Daniel Solomon @dsolsMD]

@JakeJohnsonMD @SteveKornacki @JohnKingCNN @NEJM Ha! I'm in good company. Though I'd argue you have inverted priorities -- Eric Rubin and I should be the big screen.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMD]

What a beautiful morning. @SteveKornacki @JohnKingCNN and then Eric Rubin from @NEJM being interviewed by @dsolsMD for the #PcareID course. I need a 3rd screen.

Hope this race is called while Dr. Rubin is being interviewed!

[Daniel Solomon @dsolsMD]

Lyme disease - just the sort of twitter action I need in my life, thanks Jake. While we are here though...required reading from the lay media for all of us living in New England: https://t.co/M30yz8w9CU

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMD]

Day #11 ID Learning: Lyme disease is challenging - it's a multisystem illness with nonspecific symptoms that presents from days to years after exposure. My go to table courtesy of @dsolsMD

[Daniel Solomon @dsolsMD]

@JakeJohnsonMD You are on a roll with literature 30+ years old. 1991, 1966...how low can you go????

[Daniel Solomon @dsolsMD]

Students in MA required to get flu shot this year. This is the kind of policy that can make a huge impact on public health. Let's hope that 1) other states follow suit and 2) this requirement sticks in subsequent years. @jabarocas @SaadOmer3

[Daniel Solomon @dsolsMD]

How will we manage patients with non-specific viral respiratory symptoms this winter? How will our efforts to control COVID-19 impact flu epidemiology? Some answers and more questions here @SanjatKanjilal @Dr_AmyKacin @JakeJohnsonMD @PaulSaxMD @sigal_md

[Daniel Solomon @dsolsMD]

Appreciate the chance to chat with @JAMA_current this week about the impact of COVID-19 on the upcoming flu season. https://t.co/bj2QKiB8Zh

[Daniel Solomon @dsolsMD]

Flu season is around the corner. BUT if we maintain NPIs through the winter, we are likely to see a decrease in influenza this year. Can we use the lessons we learn from COVID-19 to decrease influenza morbidity and mortality in subsequent seasons?

[Sanjat Kanjilal @SanjatKanjilal]

@dsolsMD, @Dr_AmyKacin and I discuss the interaction of #COVID19 and #flu

For the upcoming virus season, *all* ppl w/upper respiratory sx will require testing for #SARSCoV2 +/- flu. Does your lab have the capacity to handle it?

[Daniel Solomon @dsolsMD]

Collaborating on a manuscript is an amazing way to meet a new colleague - welcome to BWH, Amy! We are lucky to have you.
