Session: Cutting edge adult&ped #TxID
@BrianFisher95
Adenovirus reactivation is more common in pediatric HCT pts, so age is significant risk factor
Chart with reactivation rates, mostly ped data 👇 Progression to sx dz in peds is not uncommon

Session: Challenging Cases in #TxID
56 yo post-auto HSCT with fever, wt loss, scleral icterus. Labs with low WBC, anemia, elevated LFTs. Not neutropenic.
Check out the smear!

Dx: Babesiosis - Familiar to us here in MA, but this case was from WA!
Very tough to manage in immunosuppressed pts, require prolonged courses

Session: OPAT in PWID
@mmPharmD
OPAT completion in PWID was comparable to those who do not inject drugs
Retrospective studies of carefully selected pts -- but that is also true of who you select in real life

@mmPharmD
No difference in keeping of appts, infusion location, infection type
Longer period of abstinence may indicate better OPAT outcome

Infection prevention reality vs environmental sustainability - can we achieve a balance?

Learned about life cycle assessments today!
Reusable gowns had 28% reduction in energy consumption, but data is variable - as in those that did note advantage to reusable laryngoscopes vs single use

@preets579
Manufacturers are incentivized to make single use products based on recommendations -- so what is the opportunity here? Does the frame of emerging pathogens shape our ethos towards single use devices?

Next up, the “What’s Hot in Antifungals?” session by the ever-insightful @DavidAndes, @IDPharmacist, and Dr. Sharon Chen. There’s a lot of development in the antifungal sphere so strap in! @MSG_ERC @GermHunterMD @FungalDoc @GRThompson @IDSA @SIDPharm 1/
So what are the current gaps in available antifungals? Notable gaps include parenteral only, PK distribution to sanctuary sites/urine, toxicity, DDIs, and MDR pathogens (I’m looking at you, the fungus formerly known as S. prolificans). 2/
The novel antifungal pipeline in all of its glory, broken down into similar MOA with improvement in features vs. novel targets/mechanisms.
Some great reviews of newer agents for interested parties:

Arrancamos, starting with @cla_cor discussing the Changing Face of #HIV in #LATAM & #Caribbean #IDWeek2020
Dr @HouptEric started the session on Hot Topics in #TB with an overview of #diagnostics and where we are headed #IDWeek2020 @UVA_ID @Tacats99
Our second speaker is DrCaitlin Reed starts us with a case of MDR TB with definitions and how to build a regimen #IDWeek2020
Discussing the recommendations from current @IDSAInfo guidelines idsociety.org/practice-guide… #IDWeek2020 and more clinical trials to shorten the duration 😱😱#TB
Just finished watching the fantastic #IDWeek2020 session “Top Papers in Medical Mycology” by Drs. Jeniel Nett and @petergpappas, highly recommend watching. They covered notable papers, and I took a stab at high-level summaries with screenshots below. @MSG_ERC @IDSAInfo @SIDPharm
1) 10.1371/journal.ppat.1007460 – NDV-3A Vaccine protects mice against MDR-C. auris infection; N-terminus of Als3 protein (major adhesion/invasin from C. alb) formulated with alum; Anti-Als3 Abs in mice recognized C. auris in vitro, blocked biofilm/enhanced macrophage killing.
2) 10.1093/cid/ciaa016 – CSF early fungicidal activity as surrogate endpoint for Crypto mening. survival in trials. 738 pts w/ CM & serial LPs; EFA (pic1) measured thru d10 and pts with low EFA had sig. higher 18-wk mortality compared to higher EFA, also low EFA pts ~ low CD4s.

Session: Mano a Mano
Should we tx + tracheal cultures?
Con: @asicksamuels
3 Reasons not to treat:
1. Positive cxs do not equal infection
2. Trach cxs are unreliable
3. Treated positive trach cxs do not equal improved outcomes
+
Risk patient harm from over-tx

Should we tx + tracheal cultures?
Pro:
VAT assoc'd w/⬆️duration of mech vent, ICU LOS, mortality
Tx of VAT can prevent progression to VAP and perhaps mortality
Treating VAT w/impaired oxygenation is really tx'ing VAP, which is warranted

Know your roots and embrace your passions
Don't let someone tell you that you cannot do something, study something because it doesn't fit the mold
But not everyone gets the same encouragement

High yield talk by Pablo Sanchez at #IDWeek2020 session Antimicrobial Stewardship in Pediatric ICUs excellent bundle for #NICU #antibioticstewardship @eerogersmd @PfaffMd excellent work highlighted by @InfectiousNeo @PedsPharmD
Great summary of the harms of broad spectrum antibiotics in #NICU - greeter risk with cephalosporin > aminoglycoside-based therapy
Each additional day adds risk and combined with what we know from @PedsPharmD oral abstract on Global PPS there is a lot of variability in duration - big opportunity to standardize & shorten
