So:
Measles can be a big deal, most recover but bad outcomes happen and it still kills people - mostly kids- every year.
People may be blasé about this because the vaccine, which is safe, HAS worked well.
For most, two doses and you are good (prior exposures matter)

Thank you @SabraGibbens for your bravery in writing this - right where it belongs, in a peer-reviewed journal. These are strange times. An important and necessary perspective.

94% of patients with a penicillin allergy who were testing were negative.
Penicillin allergy testing should be a part of preoperative management.

Important for providers particularly in GTHA to understand most of this area falls into a lyme endemic zone (along with pockets in SW ON, around Kingston, and Up north). Very different than years past with small endemic zones.

During Canada's shortage of children’s fever and pain medications, parents were guided to use weight-based divided doses of adult formulations.
Our new @NEJM study reports this was associated with increased paediatric dosing errors for Tylenol and Advil: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

An underrated reason to go from IV to Po antibiotics is nursing time required to prepare and administer them:
💊 PO 80 seconds
💉 IV 22 minutes
According to @jabicjenkins this time in motion data will help to convince non-stewards to support this important initiative

Poster 625 at #SHEASpring2023: Do you have FOMO (fear of missing organisms)? If your patient with a diabetic foot infection has not had a culture with Pseudomonas in the past year, this has a negative predictive value of 94%. Hold on the pip-tazo!

Vancomycin is the oldest and most frequently used drug in our arsenal against MRSA
Despite being used for almost 65 years, vancomycin resistance (MIC ≥ 16 μg/mL) is extraordinarily uncommon, with just 52 incidents of VRSA reported worldwide in the past two decades #IDTwitter
