Our last AAMRI Rising Star Finalist whose work we're excited to share is Prof Andrew Steer from @MCRI_for_kids. Andrew is a paediatric infectious diseases physician, his research has measurably improved the lives of people suffering from tropical diseases, particularly scabies.

Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) & rheumatic heart disease (AHD) are serious conditions most often occurring in children from priority groups. Today they become notifiable conditions in Vic. This important step will support our public health response & understanding of these diseases.

Hugely pleased that after many years of work, #RheumaticFever and #RHD are now notifiable in Victoria. Important step toward control of these diseases. @RCHMelbourne @MCRI_for_kids #EndRHD

@TomBoylesID @tomayates @dralicehan @BradSpellberg @LBaddour1 @S_Chesdachai @IdVilchez @DrToddLee @AntibioticDoc @BJegorovic @parks_tom "Latent RHD" refers to RHD detected on echocardiographic screening (where that is done, usually as part of research) in a patient without a clinical history of ARF. We have some evidence around prophylaxis for latent RHD from the GOAL trial.

What is your preferred regimen for secondary prophylaxis for documented rheumatic fever without carditis? @BradSpellberg @LBaddour1 @S_Chesdachai @IdVilchez @DrToddLee @AntibioticDoc @BJegorovic

Congratulations to Professor Trevor Duke on being awarded the Royal Children’s Hospital Chair’s Medal this year. I recommend you listen to his acceptance speech for a display of humility, wisdom and kindness: youtu.be/vSiEnGWGZuA
