@RNGebhardt @JoJoFromJerz Clearly you have a lot to learn! Public health is not about fear mongering but about taking sound health policies that have the potential to affect the lives of millions of people. You’re no longer dealing with one patient, you’re now dealing with the whole public

[K. Bourgi @KaBourgi]

@ai_kei_ @JoJoFromJerz Oh really? And as a Russian what do you have to do with this? Instigate? Just FYI unlike Russia, people regardless of their citizenship get to make their own medical decisions here. No vaccine is forced on you because you’re a migrant.

[K. Bourgi @KaBourgi]

@RNGebhardt @JoJoFromJerz Oh ok. Yea let’s chill… just FYI a small polio epidemic is estimated to result in 200,000 cases of polio worldwide/year over 10 years. Out of every 10 polio cases, 1 will get totally paralyzed and of those 10% will die of respiratory failure. So should we chill about it ?

[K. Bourgi @KaBourgi]

@beppy0320 @BradmanTV @JoJoFromJerz I just love the amount of confidence you have when you say that tetanus, rubella, and measles were eradicated. You must be an expert and definitely people should listen to you for advice on what vaccines to take.

Did you know that six members of the current ⁦@IDSAInfo⁩ Board of Directors including me as President are International Medical Graduates? Today when discussing future ID workforce we talked about the critical role IMGs play in the future of our specialty.

@JjParienti @drlaurajwaters @PaulSaxMD @BritishHIVAssoc @CarlosdelRio7 @CIDJournal @TheLancetHIV @tristanjbarber @Esteban09090 @HIV_Medicine As you can see the rate on weight gain doesn’t change after switching to DTG for NVP but triples for EVP. Hope this clarifies it a bit

[K. Bourgi @KaBourgi]

@JjParienti @drlaurajwaters @PaulSaxMD @BritishHIVAssoc @CarlosdelRio7 @CIDJournal @TheLancetHIV @tristanjbarber @Esteban09090 @HIV_Medicine On the x-axis you have the time. In the middle is 0 (when patients were switched, far left -18 months, far right +18 months). On the y-axis you have the weights. In this study prior to switching to DTG, 1/3 of pts were on EFV, 1/3 on NVP however 1/3 had received both [1]

[K. Bourgi @KaBourgi]

@JjParienti @drlaurajwaters @PaulSaxMD @BritishHIVAssoc @CarlosdelRio7 @CIDJournal @TheLancetHIV @tristanjbarber @Esteban09090 @HIV_Medicine In Graph A, patients who received EFV only or both are shown in the blue line, while those who got NVP only are shown as the Red line. In Graph B, only EFV (blue) vs NVP (red) were shown. [2]

[K. Bourgi @KaBourgi]

@JjParienti @drlaurajwaters @PaulSaxMD @BritishHIVAssoc @CarlosdelRio7 @CIDJournal @TheLancetHIV @tristanjbarber @Esteban09090 @HIV_Medicine DM me. Happy to elaborate more on the figure or send one without the point estimates

Seeking the collective wisdom of #IDtwitter regarding the use of #doxycycline for #osteomyelitis. I am not a fan at all, but I know other ID physicians are. What does everyone think ? @IUIDfellowship @SAIRABT @Docmike32 @Armishadesai @mmcclean1 @DavidDo56008080 @PJ1081
