We’re incredibly proud of Dr. Johnathone Yang for representing with passion and professionalism at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) meeting in Honolulu last week! Check out his poster! #IDSky #Pedsky

🧬 Pushing the Boundaries of Medical Research 🧫 Drs. Erayil, Kline, and Selmecki, along with the team from the Selmecki Lab, have uncovered critical insights into a persistent Candida glabrata bloodstream infection that developed resistance while under treatment with micafungin. #IDSky

Excited to publish with @annaselmecki.bsky.social and team on echinocandin resistance in Candida glabrata, in @springernature.com's npj Antimicrobials & Resistance. Read it here: rdcu.be/eicmm

Post-hoc analysis of 📷 📷 study in MSSA/MRSA bacteremia: Persistent fever = indicator for complicated infection Fever on Day 4️⃣: aOR (3.7 (95% CI: 1.58-8.67)) mortality Fever on Day 7️⃣: aOR: (8.78 (95% CI: 2.78-27.7) 🚫 assn between ⬆️CRP/WBC and mortality #IDSky academic.oup.com/ofid/advance...

New retrospective eval of 1000 Karius tests Clinical impact: positive 16%, negative 2%, none 82%(!) Cx neg IE and fastidious/zoonotic/vector-borne increased likelihood of positive impact, but not immunocompromised status #IDSky @ichejournal.bsky.social pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39881594/

Faculty @serinerayil.bsky.social explored a critical clinical dilemma. Their study of 308 patients found that while 6% were diagnosed with presumed candida chorioretinitis, nearly half were asymptomatic. No cases of endophthalmitis were identified. #IDSky academic.oup.com/ofid/advance...

Ocular Candidiasis: - No significant association with symptoms or comorbidities. - more likely to be found >7 days from first +ve candida blood culture. - Number needed to screen in asymptomatic pts was 20 #IDSky, what has been your practice? @dralicehan.bsky.social @germhuntermd.bsky.social

Great day at Emerging Infections in Clinical Practice and Public Health 2024 conference! All of our @umn-idim.bsky.social fellows had a great time learning from ID & Public Health experts here in MN! #IDSky #MicroSky

🎉 We’re thrilled to welcome to our newest fellows who are joining us on this journey of advancing infectious diseases care, research, and education. 🌟 #MatchDay

What a great night of wisdom from Dr Trautner. Glad you caught that slide @tomschmidt30.bsky.social. That slide was everything.

Wonderful evening w/ our @umn-idim.bsky.social folks hosting the one & only, Dr. Barbara Trautner! Discussed her career, academic medicine, & the sage wisdom she can pass on to us trainees… We pulled out all the stops to welcome her, even turned on the snow for her 😉😂☃️ #IDSky #MinneSnowta

Vanc+pip/tazo and AKI: a sheep in wolf’s clothing? For many, the notion that vanc+pip/tazo is nephrotoxic has become accepted dogma True or pseudo-nephrotoxicity? A myth as per @pulmcrit.bsky.social Check his blog: emcrit.org/pulmcrit/myt... Below: Visual abstract Miano et Al in ICM #idsky

Any new folks from MN that need to be added to MN ID Pack? Recent adds are: @genomd.bsky.social @devries-aaron.bsky.social @serinerayil.bsky.social @umn-idim.bsky.social Any others to add?!? #IDSky #MedSky go.bsky.app/7PAEndf

IDsky community, what reading materials would you recommend our future ID doctors? @sebpoule.bsky.social @gpollara.bsky.social @dralicehan.bsky.social @drtimothyli.bsky.social @germhuntermd.bsky.social @blancagonzalez.bsky.social @handle.invalid

Large retrospective study out in JAMA IM today on midline vs. PICC lines for OPAT demonstrating safety in using midlines, especially if <14 days of abx. Does any center regularly use midlines for OPAT? #IDSky jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Diagnostic Performance of Serum & BAL Galactomannan Testing in Lung Transplant Recipients "Serum GM is not a valuable test in the diagnosis of IA in our LTx recipients, is costly, & does not remove the need for bronchoscopy & BAL GM." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #TxID #IDSky

watching #IDsky #Medsky #Pharmsky grow has been the best thing this week ☀️ really missed an online community for selfless knowledge sharing & collaboration 📖 👋🏻 im Erin, ID pharmacist in Pittsburgh. I love immunocompromised ID, antimicrobial stewardship, & building systems that help all patients

#IDsky Do you treat all candidemia the same in terms of ophthalmologic exam? Do you recommend 👀 exam for every candidemia? Or only high grade? @germhuntermd.bsky.social @fungaldoc.bsky.social @drneilstone.bsky.social @drtimothyli.bsky.social @drtoddlee.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/ofid...

Glad to see our APD from UMN ID here! IDSky MedSky

Starting here by sharing our just-published work on the ocular candidiasis question. Hello #IDSky! Do patients with candidemia need an ophthalmologic examination? academic.oup.com/ofid/article...
