I can't figure out if vaccines work or not.

Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned.

Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

@rloganjonesmd @BradSpellberg @DrToddLee @emlitofnote @ACEPNow Unfortunately in the centers I have worked in NYC, amp-sulbactam is not a great drug for empiric intraabdominal infections (E coli nearly 50% R!), so would prefere ceftriaxone/flagyl to start for cIAI

@DrNeilStone I think it's the lack of slurs and hate that people are enjoying.
It's nice to have a place just to discuss ID cases

@KPW1453 @FitzMuseum_UK What is the scale?

[Wes Rogers @WesleyRogers35]

@AndreMansoor Can I ask you what makes you say that Streptococcus is the most common cause of echthyma? I believe the more common association is Pseudomonas.
Would be interested in data if you have it

@THECITYNY How much of this could be connected to how terrible Mayor Adams is?

I’m not a puppet Elon.. I’m a daughter of two immigrant parents that had to work their ass off to provide for me! I’m a product of welfare, I’m a product of section 8, I’m a product of poverty and I’m a product of what happens when the system is set up against you….But you don’t know nothing about that. You don’t know not one thing about the American struggle…. PS fix my algorithm

Growing body of literature documenting the direct harms inflicted on our communities by abortion bans.

There has been a 7% absolute ⬆️ in infant mortality and 10% ⬆️ in infant mortality w/ congenital anomalies since the Dobbs decision

@DrToddLee @ABsteward So nice to have a non-inferiority trial with such a small margin for mortality!

[Wes Rogers @WesleyRogers35]

@GermHunterMD Nice to have more data, but I think most ID people I know have already been practicing this way

NEW: The FTC has finalized its “Click to Cancel” rule – which will require companies to make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up.

Unwanted subscriptions add up for Americans, and our Administration is taking action to save families time and money.

@ForestHillsBuzz @TransAlt Thousands cross daily. If you have walked or biked on it, then you know how inadequate the current space is for both bikes and pedestrians.

Glad to see some ID literature on skull base osteo. Have had a few tough cases, and the surgical literature is very sparse.
I have often felt the need to give longer courses of antibiotics than I would for most osteo (given limited debridements) but idk if that is right

Medical interns on night-float schedules have more regular and better-quality sleep, and less negative outcomes for mood, motivation and cognition than a 24h overnight-call schedule. https://t.co/FvUekrbHPR

Can you spot the Greco-Roman god photobombing this 2nd-century Buddhist relief from ancient Gandhara in present-day northwest Pakistan...

@DrToddLee @sebpoule @CIDJournal How did you decide on 5 days duration for the clindamycin adjunct?

I *love* this quote from Pontevedra's mayor, Miguel Anxo Fernandez Lores:

"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me, it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them."
