academic.oup.com/ofid/advance-a… Great work on Romeo getting this work out.

A great 5 days here with colleagues in NICD in RSA. Fieldwork, laboratory work, snails and parasites, alongside socialising - what could be better? #schistosomiasis

@LadowTiffany Sorry for my tardy reply and thank uou. I’m one of the UK Brucella Ref Lab Consultants hence the interest. Would be great to hear how the patient goes. Do you see much human brucellosis where you are?

@NavyTropMed Suis species w spinal osteo as well. Surgery to remove the graft, carefully managed doxy+gent+rifampin with organ dysfunction

ID service lately 1. Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense with HLH from Zambia 2. Measles encephalitis 3. 2 malaria (one pregnant) 4. Brucella endovascular graft infxn 5. 8 NTMs, 1 MDR abscessus 6. More nocardia 7. ? Verticillium pneumonia ? 8. Bactrim-R steno 9. Typhus 10. IA mucor

⚠️ BREAKING: WHO declares an outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo 🇨🇩 with 28 suspected cases, including 15 deaths. Four are health-care workers.

@DefProfSurg @karolinskainst @DMS_MilMed @INM_RoyalNavy @ClareWaltonRAF @ExDefProfEM Congratulations Cara

Congratulations to Surg. Lt. Cdr. Cara Swain RN, who *nailed* the public defence of her surgical PhD yesterday! Huge thanks to her supervisors at @karolinskainst (where PhD examination requires candidates to literally nail their thesis to the Library wall). Well done Cara!

It was an absolute privilege and honour to attend the national VJ 80th Commemoration representing the Royal Navy Medical Services and also @LSTMnews . Amazing to meet some of the remaining veterans- still so much to learn from this inspirational generation.

Celebrating the minds that drive innovation 💡 Happy Research Appreciation Day 📚 Thank you to all those contributing to research, turning ideas into reality. #ResearchAppreciationDay

Great work by Matt.

🦠 Recent work from Kain and Colleagues exploring Arboviruses in UK Armed Forces ▶️ 107 suspected infections between 2005 & 2023 - 9 (45.8%) were laboratory-confirmed. Dengue Fever was the most common (n=49) ▶️ There is an urgent need to develop a Defence arboviral diagnostic capability & to increase surveillance of arboviral infection in UKAF especially with rapid spread of arboviruses outside their traditional geographical areas ✍️ Read More: militaryhealth.bmj.com/content/early/…

Very excited to work with Asian ADVANCE-ID network to plan clinical trials of our novel metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) inhibitor, MET-X. Antimicrobials targeting MBL mechanism of Gram negative bacterial resistance to antibiotics is key gap in pipeline. @davidantibiotic @INFEX_TX

@medic_cd Also both the LSTM and LHSTM courses are great too. Happy to chat about the Liverpool course

@medic_cd I’ve known faculty on it previously and seems a very good course.

This is so rogue - but does anyone know anybody who has done the Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene specifically at Nagasaki University? #MedTwitter #IDTwitter

Great work by Matt Kain to get this small UK based data set out. Dengue is a significant infectious disease of interest to global populations especially military populations and those affected by conflict. More research is urgently needed!. @LSTMnews militaryhealth.bmj.com/content/early/…

Great work Chris on presenting a family cluster infected with Brucella melitensis from Liverpool. Nice to see other UK Brucellosis cases presented, which had input from the UK Brucella Reference Unit based in Liverpool. @nhsUHLG @lplclinlabs @LSTMnews

@francesco_petri @MayoClinicINFD @ESCMID @EBJIS_ @TakaMatsuo_ID @MSISorg @jamchugh Nice paper- any serological results for zoonotic infections such as Brucella

Happy to help delivering to @ESCMID our great colleague and #orthoID fan Rita Igwilo-Alaneme’s research on culture-negative native vertebral osteomyelitis. We need data like this for this under-described condition! @EBJIS_ @MayoClinicINFD @TakaMatsuo_ID @MSISorg @jamchugh
