#biaspring2024 At least as many hospitalisations due to RSV in older adults as in under 5s and significant mortality. Hopefully vaccination of this group will have major impact.

#biaspring2024 - risk of strongy hyperinfection syndrome even with short and lowish doses of steroids and role for PCR if microscopy negative

#bia2024 Excellent presentation of hantavirus case emphasising principle that if you are thinking lepto, think hanta too!!

@jamesmeiring @biainfection @Thushan_deSilva @DrPJLillie I’m sure Taylor would join us at FIS if it wasn’t at the business end of the NFL regular season

I can’t see this happening to #FIS! @biainfection @InfectionDave @Thushan_deSilva @DrPJLillie

@drlaurajwaters Congratulations Laura!!

Lowbury lecture - Benedetta Allegranzi Components of a multi-modal response to HCAI. Interventions requiring varied skill-sets emphasising importance of building a strong team in improving patient safety. @HIS_infection @biainfection @MicrobioSoc #FIS2023

@drlaurajwaters @DewsnapClaire @RCPhysicians @kingstonmarg @BritishHIVAssoc @BASHH_UK @SheffieldHosp @APPG_HIV_AIDS @DrYGilleece @tristanjbarber @DrNickyMackie @UCL_CRISH Chair was ace! Really enjoyed the session and nice to meet you all!

Fully support this. Smoking has multiple harmful infection associations too - poorer outcomes from sepsis, increased surgical site infection, peripheral vascular disease assoc infections as well as the massive increase in incidence and severity of respiratory tract infection

@lgblewis (PS daughter did deservedly well and got into first choice uni)

@lgblewis And there is of course a spectrum of privilege from paying loads for a school to paying a modest amount for a school to paying for private tutors to buying an expensive house in the catchment area of a nice state school to paying for transport to the nice school to “finding god”

@lgblewis For every difficult problem there is an easy solution that is wrong

@gpollara @kordosaeed @BoneJointJ @mikepetrie4 @Sunil_Panchani @CavendishHip Short (Less than a week) vs long (>4 weeks) RCT. It will be a while before it reports but hopefully will resolve the issue.

@kordosaeed @BoneJointJ @mikepetrie4 @Sunil_Panchani @InfectionDave @CavendishHip Forgive my ignorance, what's in SOLARIO?

"Aggressive surgical debridement with a high local concentration of targeted antibiotics at time of 1st stage revision for hip PJI, without prolonged systemic antibiotics, provides a high rate of success" boneandjoint.org.uk/article/10.130…

@InfectionDave @mikepetrie4 Great work, supported by great lab staff both bms and mla providing solid micro processing and support, team Sheffield LLAU and LabMed

Excellent work from @mikepetrie4, reviewing the outcomes of intended 2- stage exchange for PJI in Sheffield with less than a week of systemic antibiotics in the majority of cases.

@robshorten @TheACBNews @lthtr_microteam @biainfection Great talk Rob - I will certainly be looking at some of the resources you listed

Really looking forward to representing @TheACBNews Green Champions & @lthtr_microteam Microbiology Greens at @biainfection tomorrow. Labs have a massive environmental impact & we have much to do! 🌍⚗️🔬🧪🧬

ID:IOTS SELL OUT!!!! We are pleased to announce a collaboration with @biainfection! We’ll shortly have a new website made in partnership with BIA where you can access our shownotes. We hope this will expand our reach to Infection trainees in UK & beyond! Details to follow!

Fabulously energetic, engaging and informative start to the final day of #ECCMID2023 from @ClareWarrell introducing the soon to be published updated @biainfection eosinophilia guidelines.

Excellent meet experts session on febrile neutropenia with Carlota Gudiol. No role for serial repetition of BCs in patients with *just* persisting fever. Limited role for routine addition of gpos cover. Individualised duration based on clinical status - can often stop earlier
