The mandate is clear. We need strict regulations now. The list of legislations is obvious:
- regulate procalcitonin
- ID only for Karius
- harsh sanctions for calling urine sample “dirty”
- tariffs for saying “ua positive for uti”
- ID consult for all bacteremias

@mdonnino@emedfocus@DrToddLee@ABsteward Cautis are a thing. However most of the things we call cautis aren’t. They are asymptomatic bacteriuria with a catheter. In our hospital it was 2/3 false + prior to our intervention. And there is no evidence cautis cause fevers.
Brote de ÉBOLA en África. Algo que sí nos preocupa ahora.
🦠 Como saben, la OMS declaró una Emergencia de Salud Pública de Importancia Internacional (PHEIC) por brote de Ébola República del Congo y Uganda
Aquí les platico sobre la epidemiología y la inmunología de todo esto 1/
Another day on Stewardship. Another opportunity to quote the great @DrToddLee:
"The urine is innocent until proven guilty!"
And, stop smelling the damn urine people! What the heck's wrong with y'all goin' around smellin' peoples' urines. Y'all need to get a hobby or somethin.
"The truth must be repeated over and over again,
because error is also repeatedly preached among
us — and not by individuals, but by the masses." (Goethe)
Awkward moment:ACC publishes an article @BradSpellberg et Al submit a letter→now there’s a letter about our letter
Hope we don’t get stuck in reply-loop!
Static vs. cidal myth should b retired until new,compelling data able to supersede 60 concordant RCTs

Today, we approved and granted emergency use authorization for updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (2024-2025 formula) to include a monovalent (single) component that corresponds to the Omicron variant KP.2 strain of SARS-CoV-2. https://t.co/gv6H9XIS3i
The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have been updated with this formula to more closely target currently circulating variants and provide better protection against serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death.
This is important. Contrary to what is frequently thought, UTI is VERY RARELY the cause of delirium or acute confusional state in elderly with pyuria/bacteriura. Please do not use antibiotics and seek for a different cause!
Proud to be sharing our data from @TecSaludMX at #ECCMID2024#ESCMIDGlobal2024 in Barcelona.
First time opportunity to present accepted abstract on site 😃, 2020 and 2021 had to be online due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Primera vez que veo a Luis Miguel en concierto:
Lugar pésimo con entradas díficiles de ubicar, a pesar de "asientos hasta adelante", pésimo ángulo de visión, baños portátiles 🤢, y aunque no hubo playback, los agudos los entona la audiencia
🥲🙊
El sol ya no brilla tanto🌤
