Cardiac Manifestations of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infections: A Cohort Study 2007–2024 A 17-year cohort shows higher incidence of cardiac involvement than previously reported in patients admitted with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections that may

We looked at 17 years of Mycoplasma infections and found high rates of cardiac involvement with dire consequences. We also propose a new way of categorizing this phenomenon. Take a look at @CIDJournal! track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=... #IDsky

Persistence of positive Brucella Melitensis blood cultures is not associated with focal infection Brucellosis is a neglected zoonotic disease causing global health concern, with an estimated 2.1 million human infections yearly [1]. The clinical spectrum of the disease is broad, ranging from an ind...

We've noticed many clinicians choose to take follow-up blood cultures in patients with Brucella melitensis bacteremia. Is it really necessary? I think not - we went ahead to try and check this - would love to hear what you think about our paper: www.ijidonline.com/article/S120...

I feel very uncomfortable with this practice, especially given the change in candida epidemiology and the increase in non-albicans candida; it seems like more azole exposure is an expensive price for this intervention with very low-level evidence of benefit.

So many typos! it's so much harder to post a proper thread here without the ability to edit the entire thread and not just individual posts...

It's still great seeing your findings supported by new data!

A group from Germany published a new study on eBioMedicine, showing a similar effect on the immunological, not clinical side - specifically better T cell response when getting both doses on the same side!

That getting both doses on the same side is probably better! This was associated with a decreased chance of being PCR infected (PCR positive) in the short term, and with fewer hospitalizations for COVID-19. We published this here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Then, two weeks ago >>

So, sometime in 2021 a question on Twitter caught my attention - is it better to get the COVID-19 vaccine doses in the same arm or does it even matter? We used the perfect storm of a massive vaccine rollout an the large number of cases to look at the data >>
