Really elegant paper using barcoded SARS-CoV-2 to explore virus transmission in a small animal model. Some highlights: #IDSkyhttps://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ads2927
Barcoded SARS-CoV-2 viruses define the impact of duration and route of exposure on the transmission bottleneck in a hamster model
Barcoded SARS-CoV-2 enables precise, quantitative studies of transmission.

Excited to share our research on duration of antifungal ppx for Cocci in SOT!
TLDR; For patients repeatedly pos for EIA-IgM-only w no seroconversion, compatible clinical illness, or rads findings, discontinuing antifungal ppx may be reasonable after 1st posttxp yr

How good (or bad) is the Legionella urine antigen test?
A middle-aged SOT patient presents to the ED with fever, cough, and diarrhea of 2 days duration. T = 39.4 C, rest of vitals stable. Labs show neutrophilic leukocytosis and mild hyponatremia. CT of the chest shows a LLL consolidation. #IDSky

Im not sure how much baloxavir marboxil added to this case (if we can extrapolate from endemic IAV), but it certainly has the coolest MOA in ID

🆕🔥Across 236 US hospitals, de-escalation of antiMRSA & antipseudomonal Abx in suspected sepsis was infrequent & variable across hospitals
De-escalation more common in more stable pts and associated with lower adjusted risks for AKI, ICU admission& death #idsky

Howdy #IDsky, I’m a PGY3 medicine resident and incoming ID fellow at (check back in 22 days).
My interests include sepsis, OI in the ICU, and infection induced immune dysregulation.
Look forward to keeping the conversation alive on BlueSky.
