From BMJ . Hilarious note on misspelling of antimicrobials and their new definitions . Aztreoman 😂

Pharmacists will love this! @EmSartain No Rif! No drug interactions 😌

Treat #TB in kidney/KP #SOT w/o rifampin, series in @TheTxIDjournal

Mostly INH/ETH/LVQ +/- PZA.
Morbidity, mortality, graft loss better c/w prior studies with RIF.
Not head-to-head, but reassuring that avoiding RIF not a disservice?

Not all viral pneumonia shows up as GGOs. Dense consolidations (adeno, SARS-CoV-2), or micronodules (VZV, CMV, RSV) can also be seen, or mixed in with GGOs as well. #TxID #IDtwitter https://t.co/XEzJ53gGAv

A retrospective #norovirus #SOT study @CliniTransplant

- stopping MMF may help
- nitazoxanide probably works (RCT going!)
- if already chronic diarrhea, recovery ⬇️

@alan_koff @transplantID absolutely agree @alan_koff As consultants, we give our opinion. it's a balancing act, esp. since tx/HCT can be life-saving.

Happy to share our experience treating Tuberculosis without use of rifampin in transplanted patients. We believe that the paradigm of rifampin should be challenged in patients with risk of cumbersome PK interactions. https://t.co/oJKvqSThQy
