Excited to share our experience implementing 1HP—a novel 1-month regimen for LTBI—in CCDPH’s TB program!

@DanMatasicMD Nice!

#EchoPearl from the week: a mixed echogenic retrocardiac mass impinging on the LA in a patient with a severe Mallory–Weiss tear. CT confirmed a hiatal hernia posterior to the LA. Learning point: Hiatal hernias classically lie posterior to the LA and demonstrate mixed echolucent/echogenic appearance on TTE. Alternative diagnostic trick: Oral carbonated beverage → moving bubbles within the stomach/herniated segment confirm the diagnosis. #🍺 (PMID: 17628406: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17628406/)

This was a memorable case from my first year of fellowship. Excited to see it highlighted in @NEJM!

Thank you @maunankshah1 and to the study participants for helping us demonstrate how interactive decision support can improve confidence with latent TB care. If you haven't seen LTBI-Assist (tinyurl.com/ltbiassist), check it out!

Our findings suggest that Erythema Migrans rashes are routinely missed and/or misdiagnosed in persons with skin of color. This highlights the need for increased skin tone diversity in clinical education materials for frontline health care providers.

In our sample, we found that Black patients with Lyme Disease (compared to white patients) had higher odds of disseminated manifestations at diagnosis, experienced longer time to adequate treatment, and were more likely to have received a course of inappropriate antibiotics.

Special thanks to my mentors at the Johns Hopkins Lyme Disease Research Center, @aucott_john, Alison Rebman, and John Miller. @HopkinsMedicine Here is our work detailing key racial disparities in the early diagnosis and treatment of Lyme Disease. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
