@pulmcrit.bsky.social I found this typo in your blog about hypomagnesemia. In text you state that hypophosphatemia can be cause of hypomagnesemia (image 1), but in diagram (image 2) there is hyperphosphatemia as a cause.

#IDSky Patient with proven meticillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (👇) bacteremia and sepsis, but there is also high suspicion of endocarditis and concomitant meningitis. How would you treat? What do you think about high-dose cefazolin (8-10 g/day, continuous IV or 2 g, q6h, IV) as monotherapy 👇

#IDSky Beautiful isolate from 🩸-culture in patient with CAUTI and septic shock? Do we really need empiric meropenem for severely ill patients coming from home?
Choice of antibiotic people?

#IDSky A 5-years old patient with osteomyelitis of ulna was found to have Salmonella enteritidis (pansensitive, shown below) as a cause. Responded very well to 2 weeks of empiric meropenem. Because of destruction of the bone it will need future surgery and implantation of arteficial material. 1️⃣
