I study #drug #allergy. It was the inferior antibiotic choices we made for people with vague antibiotic allergies during my residency @MGHMedicine @mghmedres that initially gave me the idea. Too often the allergy lists were impeding clinical care. /2 of 20
I hypothesized that drug allergies were a problem -- that penicillin allergies alone were linked to important antibiotic stewardship and public health outcomes. I set off to prove this, and address the burden of unclear drug allergies across populations. /3 of 20

#Arcanobacterium #haemolyticum
Gram + bacillus
Clinical: mild respiratory illness to a diphtheria-like disease.
Pharyngitis indistinguishable from Streptococcus pyogenes (Gram + coccus)
Many patients have blanching, erythematous, maculopapular âscarlatiniformâ rash!

#Arcanobacterium #haemolyticum is generally susceptible to penicillin, cephalosporin, carbapenem, macrolide, clindamycin, glycopeptide, gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, but resistant to TMP-SMX.
Tolerance to penicillin has been reported!

While COVID19 is grabbing world attention, another global public health threat is still rising in the wings - #AMR. By 2050 AMR could cause 10 million deaths if left unchecked. AMR is not new and its history stretches back long before penicillin. whatisbiotechnology.org/index.php/exhi⌠/1
The first case of drug resistance was noted in 1907 by #PaulEhrlich, when he observed mice infected with Trypanosoma brucei developed resistance with repeated doses of #Salvarsan, the first compound found to have antimicrobial activity. whatisbiotechnology.org/index.php/exhi⌠/2
Another drug spotted to cause resistance was Optochin, an antimicrobial agent used to treat pneumonia. The first instance of resistance was noted in mice, infected with pneumococcal bacteria, in 1910, and then in humans in 1913. /3
1/ #IDTwitter and #IDFellows, here is another #IDboardreview question: 20F p/w pharyngitis w/fever. There is no cough. Exam: Cervical adenopathy; tonsillar exudate. Rapid Strep antigen test pos. You start to prescribe her Amoxicillin but there is an allergy alert.

We begin with the Victorians, who, contrary to popular belief, were obsessed with sex. In the C19, the only known #STIs were syphilis and gonorrhoea. Diagnosis depended on observable symptoms (no blood tests/smears). Effective treatments were non-existent. Image: @ExploreWellcome
In 1864 the British government introduced the Contagious Diseases Acts, intended to protect the armed forces through 'regulation' of 'common prostitutes'. The Acts gave police almost-unlimited discretionary powers to arrest any woman they thought might be soliciting. Image: HCPP

Antibiotics are commonly prescribed medications in the inpatient and outpatient setting and it's important to recognize #AdverseEvents, including idiosyncratic reactions, such as #encephalopathy.

2ď¸âŁ Syphilis can also be gotten;
- from mother to her #fetus inside the womb
- through blood transfusion,&
- through breaks in the skin that come into contact with infectious lesions e.g. kissing a person with a mouth wound when you have a wound in your mouth!

3ď¸âŁ #Syphilis may cause symptoms very similar to many other diseases. Hence it may be difficult to know you have syphilis.
That's why the disease is also dubbed "the great imitator"!
