1/ PGY-1s, remember! Abx don't come without adverse effects! Vanc & piptazo (VN+PT) are the commonest empiric abx used. However, nephrotoxicity is often a concern with this combo. Let's talk about one of the big reasons why it's in every ID doctor's Burn Book! 🧵 -

1/ Few tests are as polarizing as 1,3-beta-D-glucan (BDG) assay (Fungitell). I spent the first 2 years of residency not understanding its utility. I spent the first year of my ID fellowship wishing I could cast it into the fiery depths of hell. Let's talk about why in this 🧵

Most patients with sepsis don't need anti-anaerobic antibiotics. But most get them anyway. Why not, what's the harm? I worry the harm is considerable. Our new study in JAMA Internal Medicine: using a 15-month pip-tazo shortage to answer this question. 1/n jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…

The second edition of “Pictionar-ID: The Recurrence” #IDTwitter play along with us and see if you can guess the pathogen / disease / or antimicrobial as drawn by us…medical professionals who are not artists in any sense of the word. First up:

I guess it's time for my daily rant. Im old enough to remember when this first negative day of culture nonsense started. Back in the bad old days of the cretaceous era, when I was an ID fellow and rode the brontosaurus to work...

Okay 𝒌𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒏 𝒌𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒓, you asked for a combo Abx therapy rant, so here it comes (I guess Im taking requests now! ;)). There are 3 philosophical reasons to use combination Abx therapy (see my Mandell chapter for this discussion in detail). But they all apply differently to difft dzs.

Okay by popular demand, as requested, another ID/abx rant. Let's talk abx "spectrum of activity" vs. selecting for resistance. Does it make sense to use PCN rather than amp or amox to "reduce selection for resistance"? Nope. I know. Confusing.
